RPS February 22nd Meeting & Photo Review
Judge: Kathryn Kolb - Theme: Motion / Movement

Kathryn Kolb is a free-lance photographer working in the Atlanta area since 1985. In 1983, she received a BA in History from Emory University in Atlanta, concentrating on ancient Europe and the Near East. In 1984-5 she took photography classes at the Southeastern Center for the Arts, in Atlanta.

Kolb's editorial work is characterized by an artistic style with strong graphic elements. Her photographs have been widely published and have appeared in Smithsonian, Veranda, Rolling Stone, Nature Conservancy, Orion magazine and others. Special photographic projects Kolb accomplished include: a series of environmental portraits of regional artists for the Atlanta Journal and Constitution; portraits of formerly homeless men and women who regained successful lives through Atlanta's Samaritan House.

In 1996, Kolb photographed a medical mission to rural communities in the Dominican Republic. Images from Kolb's Tree Series were recently installed in the public spaces of the Children's Clinic at Emory University, and Kolb was one of five photographers selected to display work on Atlanta's MARTA buses for the public art project "Art in Motion," sponsored by the City of Atlanta in 2008.

Since the mid-nineties, Kolb has shifted toward fine art images of natural forms and landscapes. Kolb's fine art series includes black & white and color photographs of landscapes, trees and other plants from diverse natural environments.
Her most recent work, mostly in color, explores abstract constructions that often seem more akin to painting than photography. As photographer, Kolb stays true to the simplest form of her medium - all works are straightforward, unmanipulated images, and she uses no digital cameras or printing techniques. Kolb takes all photographs with a Hasselblad medium format camera and prints with traditional enlargers. Her fine art photographs can be found in numerous private and institutional collections including those of the Georgia Museum in Athens, GA, the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, King & Spalding (Atlanta), Georgia Conservancy, Emory's Goizueta Business School, Georgia Tech, and the City of Atlanta.

Kolb's fine art photographs are currently available through Thomas Deans Fine Art in Atlanta; Amanda Schedler Fine Art, Birmingham, AL; Artstudio 101, Scottsdale, AZ. You can see her outstanding work on her website at www.KathrynKolb.com or you can buy her new book at Showcase or other bookstores around Atlanta. For those of you who have not seen it, in 2007 she was featured on TBS Storyline. Here is a link to the video.
