“Like capturing fireflies in a bottle” is how Ivy Bigbee describes photographing global entity, Cirque du Soleil for “Portraits from the Cirque du Soleil” (1999-2000). Previously, Bigbee created a US postage stamp, in whose design the photographer subtly memorialized the husband she lost in Vietnam. Bigbee‘s fine art/ editorial photography is internationally published and nationally exhibited in museums and galleries. The Miami, FL native’s work includes a critically-acclaimed architectural commission, “Faith’s Foundations: Images of Religious Diversity.” Harnessing her Summa cum laude BA photography and literature degree with analog darkroom concentration, Her writing and photography go hand in hand to create broadcast and print media packages. Bigbee is the author of Optical Allusions: an Art Photographer’s Poems.
