Suraj Bhamra is a Metro Detroit photographer born in Windsor, Ontario. Loess is his first solo exhibition and intends to highlight the vibrant immigrant community in Hamtramck, Michigan. The project intends to draw attention to the intersection of immigrant identity, ubiquitous symbols of American pride, the contentious contemporary American political climate, and everyday life in the community.
Loess, a loosely compacted sedimentary deposit commonly found in the American Midwest, was chosen as the name of this project as a metaphor for various communities coming together to settle the American landscape, much like that of the wind-blown particles that come to form Loess. Although calcareous, porous, and loosely formed, it remains striking in its golden hue and important in its foundation of our landscape.

This exhibition is a visual exploration of emotions and memories. Memories and emotions have a deep and lasting impact. They color our past and shape our reality. This show is an exploration of the emotions and memories by photographers Fred Teifeld and David Tepper. Fred’s imagery depicts his growing up and living with the effects of domestic violence. David’s work represents the wonder and gratitude of his journey. Fred and David have different perspectives about life. Fred is working hard to break free of his past, while David quietly enjoys his life. Both Fred and David work as professional photographers and educators in the Chicago area. Fred’s studio is in Evanston, while David takes his studio with him on his travels. David travels extensively across the United States visiting reservations and making portraits of Native Americans. To date, he has made portraits of nearly fifty different nations and bands of Native Americans. He isn’t done.
Fred and David met 40 years ago in a high school photography course. Five years ago, they reconnected and quickly became the good friends they are today.

Lluis Ripoll is from Catalonia (Barcelona, Spain), where he is a street photographer who specializes in photographing the mundane on the streets and in storytelling through photography. Honoured by several awards, Mr. Ripoll is known as "The Invisible Photographer" for his speed and stealth.
"Only our own sensibility, capacity of observation, of reaction, of visualization, will provide our own creation. Not technology, we need a deep inner reflexion and a feed back to the concepts of the Humanistic Photography. The key is Observation, Invisibility, and Capturing the essential."

Growing up in London, Matt Stuart spent most of his childhood rolling along the streets on his skateboard. Twenty years later,
he walks these same streets, and instead of hearing the hum of
skateboard wheels, he hears the click of the shutter being fired from
his Leica rangefinder camera.
When Matt Stuart was in his twenties his father gave him two books, one
by Henri Cartier-Bresson and the other by Robert Frank. It was then that
he became enamored of the world of street photography and discovered
other artists who were doing the same. Today, when he isn’t at home with
his family, he is either working as a commercial advertising
photographer or pursuing his passion for documenting life on the
streets.
Matt is represented by Magnum Photos.
