Meet the artist Interview with Julie Scholz

Next up in our interview series with the artist photographers of Gallery Meraki is Julie Scholz.

Gallery Meraki -  What is it about photography that made you choose it as your medium?

Julie Scholz - What appeals to me about photography is that it is about capturing a moment, seeing and feeling something and expressing that in the pictures you make. 

Gallery Meraki - Color or B&W?

Julie Scholz - When I was shooting with film, it was mostly B&W, I loved the process of being in the darkroom. Since digital, I've been seeing the world in color, I view the world around me as paintings waiting to happen.

Gallery Meraki -  When choosing a composition what is your process.

Julie Scholz - I like to compose in camera, imagining what the result would look like very large on someone's wall.

Gallery Meraki -  Do you preplan your shots if so how much planning?

Julie Scholz - I do not really pre plan my shots but if I've found a great location or subject I will return again and again if possible.

Meet the Julie, Mike and Carl in person at the Gallery Meraki grand opening bash on Saturday, September 27th from 7-9.

Interview with Carl Stoveland Continued

4 Days and counting until the Gallery Meraki opening!

More from the Gallery Meraki interview with Carl Stoveland.

Gallery Meraki: Who is your biggest inspiration as a photographer and why?

Carl: Early on I fell in love with the work of Ansel Adams.  Cliché maybe, but there was real power in his images that has stood the test of time.

Gallery Meraki:  Do you ever see yourself working in film again?  When you shot film what size and type were your goto films.

Carl: I do from time to time or for certain projects should medium format B&W film.  One of the most satisfying sounds I know is the sound of the shutter on a medium format camera.  I was always a tri-X guy, but the current ilford B&W films are really good.

Gallery Meraki:  What alternate process or style would you like to spend time learning.

Carl: I love Dye Transfer prints.  My first job was making Dye Transfers with my Dad.  I’d love to do that again.  I am also a nut for infrared photography.  I shoot a lot of IR landscapes and architectural images.

Gallery Meraki: Color or B&W?

Carl: Depends on the day and my mood, but I do love B&W!

More interviews with the artists later this week.
