Photographer Jeff Lovely at the Myrna Loy Description:
Photographer Jeff Lovely will exhibit a series of works at the Myrna Loy Center's Jailhouse Gallery during the month of August. Lovely's photos are influenced by urban landscape, texture, action, light, and shadow. His images draw viewers in, inviting them to see the beauty that surrounds us--even in the stark urban landscape--with fresh eyes.

"I like to capture images that have a bit of mystery, urging the viewer to question what they are seeing and drawing them in for further investigation," Lovely says. "I believe that photography can transcend the mere transfer of images, and become painterly, sculptural, graphic works of art that defy categorization."

Lovely shot with a traditional SLR film camera, processing his own images, until just a few years ago. "Creating images with multiple exposures and just getting the correct exposures were much more time consuming back then," he says. "Today with digital photography, I have so much more flexibility for manipulating my images and I find that my creativity is only limited by my own lack of knowledge.

"Photography is exhilarating and something that I never fail to get excited about."

The Myrna Loy will host a public opening reception at the Jailhouse gallery Friday, August 7, 5:30 to 8:00pm.
