5/30/22 Tamara Harrington Is June Lobby Gallery Artist
30 May 2022 News
GREEN LAKE, WI, — The work of photographer Tamra Harrington will be featured throughout the month of June in the Town Square Lobby Gallery, with an artist reception on Friday, June 3 from 5 to 6 p.m.
Harrington, owner of BohippianFinch Photography, lives in Princeton where she runs her photography studio and business. Her love of photography began at a young age when she found an old, cheap 110 film camera and a book featuring the photography of Ansel Adams at a yard sale. At 16, she was hired by a large photography company in Ottawa, Illinois where she learned different aspects of photography from equipment, to film, to processing, printing and finishing.
“My photography is a reflection of how I see people and the world. I’ve always admired the famous photographer Ansel Adams and have been inspired by the work he did in life,” Harrington said. “Black and white photography, I believe, captures the soul of the subject, whether it be a person, a tree, a mountain, an animal or the ocean.”
Harrington has worked in and out of the photography industry for over 20 years and opened her own graphic/web design studio in 2000. In 2020, Harrington made photography her full-time passion. She now offers photography for portraits and small events and is a contributor for Getty Images/iStock Photo. Harrington’s signature black and white style creates striking visuals for the viewer.
“I enjoy the style and contrast of old-school black and white film photography, even in the digital age we’ve come to,” she said. “I personally like the graininess and textures that come through black and white and that is why I mostly do my photography in this style.”
