Introducing Carl Zoch

Introducing Nathan Harmon
I was basically born to do photography. I can’t imagine my life without photography.
Photography has always been a passion of mine even before I had a camera. As a small child, I saw beautiful images of environmental portraits in contemporary art museums. The images were provocative, but not demeaning to the subject, just views into peoples lives – Of course, visions and view points from the artist. My passion continued to grow as I was fanatical about the images from Transworld Skateboarding Magazine. As a teenager, my room was covered with pictures of skateboarders catching big air. My Dad gave me his (FULLY MANUAL) Olympus rangefinder and I made some interesting images.
Introducing Clinton Dean Bowman
I grew up in a small suburb of Oklahoma City. I wasn’t exposed to much art as a child, out side of film and photography. My mother used to take me with her to develop her film and print her photographs. At the time, I didn’t find it quite glamorous. The one thing I did enjoy was telling her which or imagery she should choose to print. She almost always printed my preference.
When I was six, I got my first camera. It was a novelty point and shoot, complete with Ninja Turtles in the viewfinder and on the prints. They weren’t my best photographs, but they were honest.
It wasn’t until I was a sophomore in college that I decided I wanted to pursue photography. I am fascinated with art and imagery, and the obvious creative outlet. Since graduating with my BFA in photography from Oklahoma City University, I have worked on array of different projects. I have shot fashion, jewelry, musicians, weddings and sports. Though I do love being a working photographer and lending my creative insight toward the development of projects, at the end of the day photography is my personal tool for expression.
In addition to photography, I also work with creating installations. This past year, I had an installation displayed in the Smithsonian, located in Washington D.C. Currently, I have photographs on display at the U.S. Volkswagen headquarters in Herdon, Virginia and in an Idaho gallery, and recently had one of photos featured in the American Apparel website.

He’s lived in a lot of places, from Texas to Montana, studied at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography, and learned by assisting for all types of commercial photographers. But all along, he knew he was an artist. His images, shot in large format film, portray a sense of isolation and struggle. He often constructs sculptures and carefully selects models and locations for his conceptual artwork.

When Samantha Lamb clicks the shutter, you are transported into a realm of idyllic countrysides and farm life. Colorful quilts laid out in the tall green prairie. Harmonicas. Bundles of fresh eggs. Picnics. Worn old books. Jars of honey. Waving wheat. Open sky. It’s a romantic view of rural Oklahoma, stemming from Lamb’s passion for her way of life. There are no distractions of modern living, nor its frenzied pace in her work. Sam Lamb’s images are a sanctuary. Her photography gives us that picnic in the fields, the one we yearn for, if only for a moment.

When Adam Wisneski graduated from Mizzou’s photojournalism program, the newspaper industry was amidst major upheaval as subscribers jumped ship for digital news sources. He moved to Oklahoma first for an internship with the Tulsa World, then after stints interning in Miami and St. Louis, he came back to take a position in the Tulsa World’s web department. In many ways,Wisneski represents the photojournalist of the future. He not only shoot stills and records audio, but Adam is also called upon to shoot editorial video, to edit his and the video of others, and administer the online edition.
Wisneski’s willingness to embrace technological advances and adapt to a changing audience have helped him succeed. But his skills are only a means to an end for Adam. He is wholly dedicated to telling stories. He approaches his work with an uncommon passion and uses new techniques to tell his stories in unique ways.
And now, the interview…
