Peter Fay’s worldwide travels have provided a constant source of inspiration and material for his expansive portfolio. He has captured award-winning photographic treasures in exotic locales across the globe. His fusion of light, color, and forms create powerful dramatic images spanning genres of landscape, portraiture, wildlife, documentary and fine art photography. The equipment he uses is of secondary importance. The subject matter treated can be almost anything but it is crucial that it is first “seen.” Its subsequent photographic capture involves a visual distillation process aimed at finding the essence of the subject along with a number of other factors. All distractions must be minimized or eliminated. When on occasion all that comes together, there is nothing more gratifying. Fay’s exhibition titled “The Way I See It” is composed of 60 pieces structured into 4 groupings highlighting Fay’s interests: Nature, Portraiture, Americana and Automobiles shared in an unusual way. 20 of the pieces are on metal and 40 of the pieces are on archival paper. Gallery hours: Open Tuesday-Sunday 11a.m. - 5 p.m., and anytime by appointment Visit: https://www.bfreestudio.net/
