John Ferreira Exhibit At Meredith Gallery

A special Photographic Art Exhibit titled “Studies in Still Life” by local Photographer; John Ferreira will be on display at “The Galleries at 30 Main” from September 29th through October 9th with an opening reception on Thursday the 29th from 4:00 – 6:00.
The winter months in New England can be challenging times for artists who rely on the outdoors and all its elements to do their work. As an outdoor photographer, John decided to create a body of work over the winter months that could largely be conducted indoors or very close to home if outside. His latest collection of photographs is a take on the classical “still life” painting, but with his own photographic twist and vision of the subjects. His challenge with this new body of work was to show the “essence” of the subjects while in a limited landscape and to show them in a different perspective.
As is typical with John’s work, he tries, using photographic techniques, to slow down and freeze those moments in time with his subjects that tell the broader story of what is there and to transport the viewer to that special, sometimes magical place. The World around us often appears quite different and more wondrous if we slow down and observe.
John is a self-taught photographer and has been actively involved in photography all his life. His principal focus is landscape and nature photography. He produces all prints himself using pigment inks on museum grade cotton paper which creates very long-lasting prints.
John has been invited into multiple national events and has been the recipient of several awards.
He has been a lifelong resident of New England and maintains residence in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire
His work is on permanent display at The Galleries at 30 Main Street in Meredith, NH. To see more of his work visit: www.johnFphoto.com
