Join us on Saturday, January 21, 2023, as Bob Neiman presents: Making Ordinary Into Extraordinary - 30 years of Photographic Art.

This FREE presentation is hosted by The Art of Photography International and is open to the members of The Art of Photography - Tampa/Gulf Coast.

Bob Neiman is an award-winning master photographer. His work has appeared in Lenswork magazine and Black and White magazine, among others.

Bob is an explorer whose canvas is the ground glass of his camera. Seeking the quality and direction of the light, he captures shapes, textures, and patterns.

In Bob’s words:
“I see my image-making as an attempt to find and create beauty out of the visual layers in the world. I particularly enjoy looking at ordinary things and by looking more closely and visually extracting a part of what I see, finding a new visual world within the larger "ordinary" world. Often the result is greater simplicity in my subject with one or two elements becoming the theme of the work. When all the elements of the image-making process come together, magic happens……
My intent with photography is to create an emotional reaction where I draw the viewer into the image. Ideally, I would like to grab them emotionally even before they can respond to the “thing” of the image on an intellectual level. Without the reference point of “what the subject is”, they can then let go and visually explore an image. They are able to experience the image on a gut level and create any personal meaning for themselves from the inside out."
