Daryl-Ann Saunders Bio & Statement
In this series “Urban Orchestra”, I turn toward buildings and explore planes of glass, metal and stone defined by light and shadow. And I wonder : how is it that mere mortals can create such mammoth structures? I am in awe of such orchestrations of vertical and horizontal presence looming overhead. I feel a visceral response (it may be the discovery of a delicate balance or of layers of texture, shape and density) and I make a photograph. It is my way of making a record that, yes, humans can create this form of magnificence.
Starting with an obsession for photographing live bands in small clubs, Daryl-Ann Saunders studied photography at The School of Visual Arts and The International Center of Photography in New York. She assisted professional photographers and became photo editor of several music publications while perfecting her craft with film and in a traditional darkroom for her own commercial and personal work. Eventually, Saunders established a portrait studio in Manhattan creating portraits for major magazines and online publications.
Saunders has exhibited worldwide and her fine art work is held in the corporate collections of Pfizer, Inc. (NY), General Electric Corporation (CT), Davis-Grutman (NY) as well as private collections. Through an artist-residency program, her proposal for a documentary photo-text project, “Pioneers of Bushwick”, was selected and sponsored by the Brooklyn Arts Council in partnership with the NYC Department for the Aging, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs. It was funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. She concentrates on several portfolios of fine-art imagery that involve alternative process and explorations of themes such as human dynamics, boundaries and privacy/ night photography / political trends/ rituals of leisure and abundance and circumstances representing caution and danger.
