Emily Wilson Photography |
Show project notes
After years of searching for the right creative outlet, Emily picked up a Canon AE1 for the first time in 1991. She quickly found herself hooked, and during her teenage years, the darkroom became her refuge.
As a lover and fighter of the rock ‘n’ roll cause, she found herself drawn to photographing concerts and musicians. While studying Art History at UMASS Amherst, she was more often found shooting on stages than studying in classrooms.
In 1997 she moved to New York City. A chance meeting with photographer legend Duane Michaels gave her a mentor, and he sent her on a path that over ten years and a thousand assignments later, she’s still following. I am always finding new ways to challenge myself, photography continues to be an on going learning experience.
The depth of the photo series depends on the twists and turns an artist is willing to make, ''Young Racers'' and ''Summer Camp'' have been just that.
