Doongalik Studios announces the Opening of “BahamaScape” a collaborative show of photographs by Rashad Penn, Shane Pinder and Guilden Gilbert on Tuesday November 12 from 6-9pm. As the name implies, this exhibition focuses on The Bahamas and the many wonderful ‘Scapes’ (landscapes and seascapes) that can be found throughout the islands.
Each of the artists is passionate about photography – they all participate in a very active facebook group called ‘Photographers of The Bahamas’ (POTB) that was created by Rashad Penn. Three members of the group - Rashad, Jeff Major, and Guilden - initially got together after a group photo-walk. The photographers discovered that they had very similar photography interests so, for safety reasons, they decided to get together to shoot on a regular basis following this first photo-walk, and the rest, as the saying goes, is history!
Shane was invited by Guilden to become a member of POTB after he presented some of his work, and he eagerly accepted. The group has spent many hours shooting together and presenting their work to each other for critiques, input and advice. Their ease and familiarity with one another has reached the point where sometimes it appears that they think alike. In fact some of their images were so similar that during the selection process for the show, they had to remove photos which seemed to be duplicates of another’s work which led them to ponder which attributes could have led to such conditions -”Great minds think alike” or “Fools seldom differ”!
“The public can look forward to an amazing selection of breathtaking ‘Scapes’ captured in film and presented in both traditional, and not so traditional ways,” stated Gallery owner, Pam Burnside. “This is the first time that the POTB Group has held an Exhibition, and I am pleased to provide the opportunity for them to show their work. In the mad rush and haste of modern life, we often take Nature for granted. This Show, I think, will allow us to take a moment to stop and appreciate the exquisite beauty that surrounds us 24/7!”
As an added benefit to the Exhibition, the photographers will be donating part proceeds of their sales to the Children’s Emergency Hostel and Great Commission Ministries International during this season of giving. Patrons who purchase art work will not only obtain beautiful photographs but will also be contributing towards these noteworthy charities.
“BahamaScape” will be on display until Tuesday, November 26. For more information contact the Gallery at 394-1886 or visit our facebook page, here!
