PHOTOGRAPHERS
Patrice Gagnon
“I’m a travel photographer based in Montreal, Canada, with a decade of experience capturing the beauty of the world through my lens. My journey began as an amateur on Instagram, driven by an insatiable passion for photography and an innate love of travel. Over the years, I’ve explored more than 20 countries, seeking out breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cultures, and untold stories to share through my work. With thousands of photographs to my name, my goal has always been to inspire others to see the world differently and to embrace the wonder of exploration.”

“Through my photography, I seek to freeze moments that evoke emotion, curiosity, and connection. Each image is a reflection of my desire to explore the world, not just its grand landscapes, but its quiet details and untold stories. Travel, for me, is more than movement; it’s an opportunity to see the familiar in unfamiliar ways. I approach my work with patience and intention, allowing light, texture, and composition to shape how a scene is felt, not just seen. My photographs are an invitation to pause, to reflect, and to experience the beauty that exists in the in-between spaces of life and landscape.”

Michael Eckart
Michael Eckart was born in West Germany after the Second World War. He spends a lot of time in Japan, Bali and Asia. Venice is like home to him now. When he was young he wanted to be a photographer or a designer, he always wanted to create something. However, these two passions did not play a major role in his life until much later.
In the 1960s he began designing shop windows and building objects for window decoration. This was followed by successful residential and commercial interiors, for which he also designed and made furniture until the mid-1980s. At the end of the 1980s, the scale of his objects changed. He designed jewellery in buffalo horn, bone and, above all, sterling silver. In Paris, where he exhibited his jewellery from 2004 to 2006, he was awarded the “Étoiles de Mode”; for best design three times in a row. During his time as a jewellery designer, he had many publications in prestigious glossy magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and others. In 2016, his son gave him his old camera. That’s when he started taking photographs. In 2024, he entered his first photography competition and was successful.

Brigitte B Burckhardt
Brigitte currently lives in Switzerland. She is a self-taught photographer, started shooting as a child inspired by her grandfather whose name she chose to bear as her artist’s name to honour him.
She shot with a film camera for years be it color or black and white, spent hours developing her films in a dark room. In her twenties she travelled around the globe taking her camera along and thus gained great experience especially in landscape and street life photography.
Being reasonable instead of listening to her passion she studied medicine and is still partly working as a medic. Though after a life changing event she had more time for herself and the passion for photography came back stronger than ever. Still taken mostly by landscape and street life photography but also starting to experiment with other approaches.
Winter Nostalgia.
“I was keen to see winter begin, the first snowflakes fall, the snow covering the lush garden, I was wearing snow boots to go to school, Even skied on the neighbourhood hills. Today nothing of that to be seen down here, in the low land plains of my country, It’s still cold, the wind blows, the waves crash during winter storms. To see snow you gotta go up, Up to the mountains, into the woods, and even higher to maybe slide, To meet the still ethereal magic of winter.”

Bo Colin
Photography followed Bo Colin (1970) like his own shadow through his very varied and creative life. Born and raised in Germany, he felt early on that borders had to be crossed in order to fully develop. Many trips within Europe, several years living in Scotland and Cornwall as well as on his own sailing boat in the North and Baltic Seas, have sharpened his eye for the aesthetic, beautiful and special. This aesthete currently travels often in Europe and to Brazil.
After more than 10 years of being self-employed in other creative areas, such as the design and manufacture of unique furniture, sculptures and interior design in his own company, the creative mind finally swapped the pen and plane for the camera.
Seeing what most people don’t see and revealing what would otherwise remain hidden, documenting all of this in an unadulterated way, that’s why Bo Colin picks up his camera.
He now dedicates his full devotion to this new chapter in his life, a late but real calling.
The repertoire is just as diverse and authentic as Bo Colin himself. Every day he looks for “the magical moment”, sometimes in the hustle and bustle of the city, sometimes in the silence of nature, sometimes in color, sometimes in black and white and shares it on his own page.

“With every moment captured, I not only show a pure and honest reflection of reality, but also an insight into my emotional world and give the viewer the opportunity to immerse themselves in the visual narrative I have created and to participate in it mentally.”

Jack Nelson
“Having grown up as an expat child in Oman and Mozambique, I have a fond interest in other cultures and people lives. Since graduating university in 2023 I have been fortunate enough to find work in travel leading me mostly to places in the Middle East. A place I find a deep connection to. The deep seeded culture of respect and beauty lies there. I have worked on a small Yemeni island for extended periods of time leading me to use my camera to explain what I see and feel. My method examines the space between my headspace and what I witness. I use photo collage to stretch the boundaries of what an image can tell alluding to not only the truth but also something unexplainable.”

“I have travelled a lot. I felt a great sense of peace in Scotland where I traveled with friends and family during winter. These photos are reflections on that peace found in Winter. A time not understood by many in the world as those in the West perceive it. Where rain and ice can be magical. It is a time of stillness where we can bury ourselves in feelings and emotions keeping the outside world at bay. A beauty so familiar to many yet alien to others from warmer climates. I am in the process of writing and producing a zine of the work.”

Leo Tujak
“I’ve gotten more into photography since retirement. It allows me more time for traveling (one of my favorite things). Also introduces more things to photograph. The diversity of lands, countries, scenery, peoples, mores is just astonishing. They are there to enjoy, to photograph and to experience and remember. I Think that photography is a great thing, it allows you to see something and transfer it to a photograph, but with input from the person taking the photograph. I have exhibited at various galleries, both in the U.S.A. and internationally.”

“For the past eight years, I’ve been a passionate hobbyist photographer, captivated by the beauty of landscapes and the charm of animals. My camera serves as a gateway to nature, where I find joy in uncovering simple, genuine moments. From the quiet stillness of a forest to the curious gaze of a wild creature, I aim to tell stories that inspire others to appreciate and connect with the outdoors. Through my lens, I strive to reflect my belief that beauty is all around us, waiting to be noticed.”

“The View from Between Villages is based around the idea of mortality, grief and acceptance. Two years ago, my family dog died. I found this event extremely difficult to process, as it was the first time I encountered the death of someone I loved. Losing Kofi was a defining moment in my life, it felt like his passing signified the demise of my own youth. The series explores the idea of change; how the familiar evolves as you mature, becoming something that’s unrecognisable as you are caught between the different phases of life. Using infrared photography, the images feature scenes in the garden from my childhood home and the surrounding village. The distinct blue hue from the infrareds produces “uncanny” motives in the work and elicit psychological tension within the viewers. The uncanny effect arises from the juxtaposition of the familiar (the human subject) with the unfamiliar (altered appearance caused by infrared light).”

“Our brains are wired to recognize and interpret faces and human features, but when presented with an image that deviates from our expectations, it can evoke feelings of unease or discomfort. The absence of visible blood in the skin makes the subject appear less human or lifelike, leading to a sense of detachment or disconnection from the image. It also makes the subjects appear like ghosts in surreal dreamlike imagery. This disruption of our normal perceptual experience can trigger a feeling of the uncanny, as it challenges our understanding of reality. The ethereal blue hues created by the infrared technique evoke a surreal, dreamlike quality, imbuing the images with a sense of detachment and unease, much like the disquiet winter can bring in its starkness and stillness. This work aligns with the Winter exhibition’s theme by reflecting the season’s dual nature—its serene beauty and its haunting presence. Winter often symbolizes endings and transitions, mirroring the themes of grief and acceptance in this series. The altered, almost ghostly quality of the images resonates with the quiet yet powerful presence of winter, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences with change and the passage of time. By juxtaposing the familiar and the unfamiliar, The View from Between Villages invites contemplation on the silent, transformative power of both grief and the winter season.”

“My photography is influenced primarily by 19th Transcendentalism, that nature can be utilized for understanding oneself spiritually, separate and distinct from societal influences. The conservation of the natural world is extremely important to me and I’m hoping to foster environmental awareness by showcasing the unique beauty of conservation areas and preserves in New York and New England.”
