This years American Photography (23) features two of Nymphoto's Maria Passarotti's Urban Landscape Photographs.

Maria's work always searches for beauty and often she locates that beauty in seemingly mundane environments, subtly guiding the viewer to reconsider the everyday landscape, and thus ultimately calling on her audience to reconsider their perspective on life.

To discover more about/of Maria's work visit her website at: www.mariamotorina.com or inquire with Susan Eley Fine Art.

The Nymphoto website is temporarily under construction, but will be back soon. Stay tuned.

Much of Rona's work chronicles the imprint man leaves on earth. A visual anthropologist she conveys to her viewers a portrait of mankind in the context of nature.
Extensive travel has given Rona the opportunity to create an expansive collection of imagery that, as she rightly states, is material evidence of who we are.
See more of Rona's work on her website: www.ronachang.com

Juried Alternative Process Competition


Two cyanotypes from Maria Passarotti's Botanical Portrait series were chosen by juror Tricia Rosenkilde to be included in Soho Photo's Juried Alternative Process Competition. Inspired by such subjects as Victorian paper cuts and the botanical photograms of scientist Anna Atkins, Passarotti's Botanical Portraits combine figural imagery with photograms to create hauntingly beautiful images where the subject is married to their landscape.

Opening Reception: Tuesday, 6-8 PM, November 6, 2007
Dates: November 6 - December 1. 2007
Location: Soho Photo, 15 White Street, NYC
