Congratulations to LAUREN DUKOFF who’s included in PDN 30 this year. A well deserved honor.
We are pleased to announce photographer EMILY SHUR has joined the Giant Artists family! check her out here. We love her flawless eye for light, color, and composition and her mix of bright, often humorous, portraits and landscapes. Whether shooting a well-known celebrity or inanimate object, Emily infuses her subjects with importance, humor, and a singular point-of-view. Her work has been featured in Communication Arts (2005) and selected for publication in American Photography 22, 24, and 25 (2006, 2008, and 2009). In 2005, Emily was selected as a winner in The Art Director’s Club Young Guns global competition. In 2008, she was honored to have an image in the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London. In 2009, Emily was one of 100 photographers invited to participate in Review Santa Fe, and this year her work will be included in Humble Art’s 31 Women in Art Photography exhibition.
