DISTINGUISHED PHOTOGRAPHER AWARD 2013
101
year-old Celebrity Photographer Editta Sherman
~ The Duchess of Carnegie Hall ~
honored by Women In Photography International
"Remember
it is not the camera,
but the person behind the camera that makes the difference!"
Editta Sherman
"Women In Photography International is
honored to present our 2013 Distinguished Photographer’s Award
to Editta Sherman, a woman who, at age 101, can be an inspiration
to all women pursuing a career in photography" says Jean Ferro,
photo artist and president of WIPI. "Editta Sherman is a true
artist who remains engaged in life, love of people, career and her
family."
Sherman’s dedication to creating classic portraiture is a testament
to the way she lives each day, with a double dose of “Joie de
vivre” – a cheerful enjoyment of life and an exultation
of spirit! Editta's Celebrity portrait portfolio archive includes,
Carl Sandburg, Angela Landsbury, Yul Brenner, Bela Lugosi, Tyrone
Power, Veruschka, Charlton Heston, Henry Fonda and Tilda Swinton as
David Bowie to name just a few. Editta was the subject of Legendary
New York street fashion photographer Bill Cunningham, his favorite
muse, for "FACADES" 1978 book.

From its earliest beginnings at Butterfield
& Butterfield in 1991, Stephen Cohen’s photo l.a.
has become one of the most successful photographic art fairs in the country.
This edition was no exception. According to the Stephen Cohen Gallery,
over 8,000 people visited this year’s fair.
The 20th Anniversary Edition opening reception with honored guests William
Eggleston and Stephen Shore benefited the Wallis
Annenberg Foundation Photography Department at the Los
Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). This year, photo l.a. also
launched an addition, art-LA projects, a prelude to a much larger artLA
2011 that will align with the start of the Getty’s
Pacific Standard Time initiative and Art Platform—Los
Angeles, a new art fair creation by The Armory Show team in the
fall of 2011.

Famed
rock icon Graham Nash hosted the opening reception of this year's
Photo LA, the 16th Annual International Los Angeles Photographic
Art Exposition, benefiting the Elton John AIDS Foundation. (Graham
also hosted the first Photo LA show 16 years ago.)
Photo LA brought together a rich palette of galleries from around
the globe. Over 6,000 people enjoyed the four photo-packed days
of exhibits at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. Many notable
photographers as well as emerging artists were showcased in this
fast-growing photography collecting market.
Exhibitor and artist installations ranged from masters of the
19th & 20th century to the newest in contemporary art, including
video, digital, and mixed media work. Well-known curators, gallery
owners, and artists presented lectures, collecting seminars and
panel discussions.
The Thursday evening opening benefit reception provided scrumptious
tasty treats from L.A.’s best restaurants, an open bar and
lots of visual eye candy. Two double shots of Absolute Ruby Red
Vodka cured my desire to even think about the food!
The Luminous-Lint booth
was set up in the lobby with a large "SMART Board Interactive
display” that provided viewers with an impressive showcase
for the Luminous-Lint.com history of photography website. Alan
Griffith's was animated as he led people from one section to another,
pulling up info about photographers, collections and prints.

For talented photographers who struggle with a lack of exposure, Kodak’s
One Gallery program was a welcome innovation. The program debuted
during last year’s Christmas season with high-profile exhibitions
in New York’s SoHo and San Francisco’s Union Square. Each
exhibit featured four photographers (one established pro and three
emerging talents.) Visitors to the galleries could also attend masters
classes or get hands-on with Kodak’s EasyShare system for shooting,
storing and sharing digital photos.

friends whose photos, questions, learning, laughter, idiosyncrasies

TRENDS: Building A Photographic Community An Interview
With Jean Ferro, President of WIPI
by Maria Piscopo, September, 2004
"Networking for your photography business means connecting on
three different levels: with your client network, your community network,
and your peer network."
.."As
photographers and artists go, we have wonderful ideas and great gusto,
but in the end, an organization needs a certain structure and dependability
for the best networking. With its current base on the internet, a
strong archive of online information and visual texture of women's
work, WIPI is ready to take the next step up for its members".

Specialization seems to be the key for linking into the world of art
using search engines to cruise the electronic highway. Women In Photography
International (WIPI) has found it's niche as an online resource reaching
photographers worldwide. Women photographers from Kuwait, Italy, Germany,
France, Belgium, Iran, Brazil, Africa, New York, Texas, Los Angeles
and the middle American communities have found their way via the internet
to the Los Angeles based headquarters of WIPI. Women now have a choice
to have their art represented by traditional galleries and/or create
their own web gallery and link to an organization like Women In Photography
International.
I sat down...online with Jean Ferro, Photo Artist and President
of WIPI to discuss some of the ins and outs of how WIPI began and
where it is today and what's the focus for the future.

The Women In Photography International (WIPI) resource organization
is celebrating its 20th anniversary by launching the traveling exhibition
"International Tea Time: Images of Women, Images of Tea."
which began its run at the House of Photographic Art this fall.
The theme of the juried exhibition was inspired by an image of a
teapot taken by the late photographer Linda McCartney. The 75 works
by 60 women were selected from the over 1000 prints submitted by
lens ladies around the world. Among the single category winners,
Carol Nye took first place in the Women category with her documentary-style
images of two veiled women in China. The WIPI organization also
launched the Distinguished Photographer's Award fifteen years back,
which has since recognized the work of Eve Arnold, Ruth Bernhard,
Mary Ellen mark, Ruth Orkin Berenice Abbott and others. Website

In
the summer of 1989, Women in Photography Director, Nancy Clendaniel,
was encouraged by WIP Treasurer & photographer, Sylvia White and
her LAPC associate, John Fox III, to host a three-part television
program for LA's public access station. With a theme song provided
by guitarist Laurence Juber (formerly of Paul McCartney & Wings),
"Photography Today" was produced in three separate segments, and
aired from December 1989, through February 1990. Meant to showcase
photographers and people working in the photo arts in Los Angeles,
this program provided an educational forum and open dialogue about
the business of photography, including work and individual experiences
from three of LA's top photographers. The programs were presented
as follows: |

In 1980, as the wave of
feminism that had swept the United States seemed to calm itself in
a sea of navy blue as greater numbers of women swelled the executive
ranks, ten female photographers came together and funded Women in
Photography. A modern organization, Women in Photography is neither
a sewing circle nor an old boys network, but rather an effort to bring
together women who share a unique profession, and thus the problems
and joys unique to photography. Photography has long been a male domain
and it is with this in mind that WIP sought to make aware an audience
and to up a market for female talent. What started as a support group
for artists quickly diversified to fill other professional needs.
Exhibitions were organized; a professional magazine published, conferences
and seminars gin and, finally, the initiation of an international
contest. The 65 winning photographs are published in ZOOM in this
issue and will be a part of an exposition which will travel the globe.
The jury was composed of three female photographers: Bonnie Donohue,
Phyllis Peet and British Author Val Williams. One of the most important
aspects of this presentation is to bring to the foreground the arbitrary
nature of sexual segregation. One look at these photos and it is immediately
evident that there is no more “feminine photography” than
there is “masculine photography” or “bisexual photography.”
What we see is the quality of the perspective, the sensitivity of
the author and the presence of her past projected into her work. If
photography has previously been misogynist, certainly these exceptional
photographs defy casual or sexist categorization. The surprising part
is that today on the brink of 1990, we even stop to make such an anti-sexism
statement. The statement made by the photographs is far more eloquent.
