Dave Kosiur presents a selection of fine art photographic prints at the Orcas Art Studios, starting with a reception on Saturday, Aug. 23 from 4 to 6 p.m.

This exhibit will include both color and black and white photos from his recent travels in France and Italy, representing a new view of time-honored locations. Also shown will be a selection of prints from Kosiur’s latest explorations in photographic abstraction based mainly on forms found in nature. The works will be on display at the studio until Oct. 23.

Kosiur has been photographing for too many years to count, but his interest in photography grew significantly after moving to Orcas Island 14 years ago. He helped start the Orcas Island Camera Club in September 2007 and turned over the reins of “chief organizer” of the club to others in 2010. During that period, he also ran some local classes on digital photography, color management, and using Adobe Lightroom.

Since leaving the leadership of the camera club, Kosiur has kept himself occupied photographing in various locations in the U.S. and Canada, as well as a few countries in Europe.

Prior to this solo exhibit at the Orcas Art Studios, Kosiur exhibited his work at the “Shades of Gray” four-man show in the Edna Gallery in 2006 as well as frequent participation in exhibits in the Orcas Island Library and at the Orcas Center. One of his portfolios of black-and-white photographers was featured in the 2012 special issue of “Black & White” magazine.
