“With no more than one image per submitting photographer this exhibition gives a real sense of where fine art photography is today in all parts of the world” he said.
Eric M. Renard’s recent exhibitions “Slice of Light”, “Nobody Walks in L.A.”, “Soul of a City” and “Urbanity in Black and White” focused on high contrast, urban cityscapes, reflecting an eerie sense of peace and tranquility. The cityscape is the hero in these photographs, with the people subject to the power of their surroundings.
