Kris Johnson is well known to the Photographic Society of Northwest Arkansas, and has recently returned from achievement of his MFA at the Indiana University.

“To Which We Return” is a body of work examining fear and mortality. The series makes use of an alternative darkroom photographic process known as Mordancage to alter black and white self-portraits. The Mordancage process degrades and disrupts photographic materials through a chemical process of decay and destruction. Cracked surfaces and veils of the photographic emulsion dislodge during the process, making each photograph entirely unique.

During the last decade, Doug Hanson has been making photographs, instead of taking them.

The maker-movement takes many forms, and within this movement, Doug focused on the craft and artistry of image making. Transitioning from painting to photographing, Doug’s work spans Tintype, Gelatin Silver, Cyanotype, Pinhole, Mordancage,  Solargraphy, and other analog methods which have been his maker’s mark.

Professional Photographer Ken Kaminesky will be speaking about his travels and the passion he feels for the people he meets and places he visits while on the road taking photographs.

Ken’s career has evolved from his early days as a fashion photographer which then led to a decade of shooting stock images for Jupiter Images, Corbis, and Getty Images. After the 2008 financial crisis, the stock photo agencies completely changed the way they worked with their photographers in a negative way. This led to the next step in the evolution of Ken’s career and his taking a leap of faith to become a full-time travel, landscape, and wildlife photographer.
