“City Streets and Other Loves” Photography by Justine Knight & Stacey Vukelj

The Larchmont Public
Library announces that the new exhibit, “City
Streets and Other Loves”, featuring the color and black and white
photography of Justine Knight and Stacey Vukelj, will open in the Oresman
Gallery on Tuesday, December 3. The exhibit will be open during normal library
hours and is free. Additionally, there will be a reception on Saturday,
December 7, from 2:30pm to 4:00pm. All are welcome and both photographers will
be on hand to meet everyone.

Both photographers have
only recently come to the world of photographic art. They met two years ago
when attending an online class together. Since then, the two have worked
together numerous times, including two personal year-long projects that involved
a larger group of photographers.

Stacey
Leece Vukelj has lived in New York City for the past ten years and began her study
of photography to better document her journeys with her family. Her formal
education is as a lawyer; her photography education has been largely through
self-study and small workshops. She has also studied at the International
Center of Photography in New York City. Although her original photography goals
centered on documenting her family, street and travel photography have become her
passion. In addition to her personal work, Vukelj is also a volunteer for The
Gold Hope Project, a photography non-profit dedicated to raising awareness of
childhood cancer and a mentor and breakout instructor at Clickin Moms, an
online family photography forum. Anonymity among the crowds of the city is a
recurring theme in Ms. Vukelj's work. She seeks opportunities to isolate her
subjects, even within the busiest of scenes, and has a special affection for
shooting at night and in inclement weather.

Justine Knight is a fine art and
portrait photographer based in Westchester. She began her photographic journey
just over 2 years ago. Her aim at that time was to capture the life of her
family with a focus on her two daughters. After undertaking a workshop in 2012
at the International Center for Photography, she developed a passion for fine
art street photography. Ms. Knight loves the challenge of photographing the
ever changing streets and people of New York City and in September 2013, she
won the Juror's Award for her “Eye on the
Street” exhibition at the Kiernan Gallery in Virginia. The image named “Memorial”, for which Knight won the
award, will be part of the exhibition at the Oresman gallery in December.
