Photography Council Brown Bag Lunch Talk: Stan Raucher
Every third Wednesday of the month at noon, photography enthusiasts gather at the Museum to hear talks by regional photographers, gallerists, historians, curators, and collectors.
Stan Raucher – Candid Photography
My candid photographs of people in public spaces around the globe provide a compelling glimpse of human emotions, interactions, and connections. Whether documenting routine activities or special celebrations, my images open a window to the world that surrounds us here and now. I’ll describe my artistic vision and my method for capturing these fleeting moments. I’ll also discuss my approach for enhancing a narrative through the editing and sequencing of images, especially with regard to the design of my monograph Metro: Scenes from an Urban Stage. The slideshow will be illustrated with images from several of my recent projects.
