BIO
Jim Tetlow graduated with a BFA from Carnegie-Mellon University and has been working as a lighting designer and photographer since 1975. Residing in La Jolla, California, he has exhibited at the Soho Photo Gallery in New York and the Photographer's Eye Gallery in Escondido, California. He has a wide range of photographic interests, but specializes in the photography of historic architecture and ruins. He believes that a photograph is a record of a scene at a specific point in time, but strives to go beyond simply recording the scene, and tries to interpret the scene. This process starts in the camera with the framing, focus, and exposure, and continues with the processing, whether chemical or digital, and is completed with the printing of the image. Much of his work is in black and white, or in the case of cyanotypes, blue and white. "I think that I'm drawn to monochromatic images because in my career as a lighting designer, I use color as a basic element of the design every day. By stripping away the color in my photographs, the composition is based on forms, light, and shadows."
