While attending Photo Lucida in Portland this spring, we met Gordon Stettinius of Candela Books and Gallery. We were invited to be in Unbounded!2 an annual summer juried invitational exhibition, designed for the sole purpose of supporting fine art photographers. We are grateful for this opportunity to show two photographs from Natural History. We are in good company!
In addition, we had the treat of hearing Chris McCaw speak, his work is the subject of Candela's third book, Sunburn. Candela Books was founded in 2010 to produce a book featuring the work of New York photographer Gita Lenz, whose striking imagery had been all but forgotten since originally being produced in the 1940s and 1950s. No book existed to document her life’s work. In an attempt to augment the legacy of this talented photographer, Gordon Stettinius created Candela Books and published Gita Lenz.
Candela Books’ second book, Salt & Truth with photographer Shelby Lee Adams, coincided with the opening of Candela Gallery in downtown Richmond, Virginia in December 2011. The gallery exists in a renovated historical building and includes a rear working studio space and darkroom.
