I have done some location shooting since our last update.  In the fall, I made some winemaker portraits and vinyard images in Walla Walla for our friends at Red Sky Winery.  After the shoot, I traveled to the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area in Eastern Oregon to shoot in the valley of the Lostine River.    Look for some black and white Lostine River images in the New Work section of the web site.  I also did some figurative work in an architectural setting in the gun battery ruins of Fort Flagler on Marrowstone Island. 

The Gallery continues to support organizations that are involved in environmental conservation.  In the fall, we supported the Washington Wilderness Coalition with their annual auction.  Recently, we supported the auction of the Coastal Conservation Association. 

Please visit the Gallery over the summer.  We will be hanging new work on a monthly basis and many of the images from the website are displayed on a regular basis.

Steven has been spending a good amount of time developing Ilfochrome prints. We’ll be framing some of these and hanging them in the gallery soon.

On July 10th, Steven joined the Wilderness Society at the Olympic Sculpture Park to celebrate the beautiful North Cascades. Check it out when you are in town.

Seattle is beautiful right now, and it’s a great time to get your portrait taken. It’s a wonderful experience. Steven Fey will photograph you and your family in a setting of your choice in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. It will be a treasure to last a lifetime. Call the gallery and set up your appointment right away.

On Friday, April 11th the Seattle Times ran an article about Senator Patty Murray and the anticipated passage of legislation to bring the Wild Sky Wilderness Area into reality. The Times article was illustrated with a photograph of Eagle Lake in the Wild Sky that Steven made last summer while shooting the Wilderness Society. We thank the Wilderness Society for including the image on their press release and look forward to the final passage of this bill which will perserve the Wild Sky Wilderness area in the North Cascades.

Steven’s image “Spring Aspens, ” graced the cover this month of the American Psychologist, the primary journal of the American Psychological Association. This is our second American Psychologist cover. We thank Sandy Fowler and the APA editorial staff for helping to make these covers a reality.

Finally this month, there has been a change or personnel at the gallery. Brie Everard will be leaving the gallery director position but will be staying on as our Digital Imaging Specialist. Caron d’Amelio is the new Gallery Director. Caron comes to us from Kirsten Bunney Gallery in Maui, HI. Please call or stop by the gallery, and we can show you our beautiful landscapes in color or black and white, set up a portrait session or arrange for a private party.

Since the last entry, I have been on two trips, first to Eastern Washington, and then to the Washington coast. In late December I traveled to the Grand Ronde River to do some steelhead flyfishing with my son. The Grand Ronde flows out of the Wallowa’s in Eastern Oregon, through a bit of Washington, and into Snake River. It was bitter cold and snowing, making it a difficult photographic challenge. The steelhead refused to cooperate with me, at least. My son, a gifted fisherman and fly tier, hooked up several times. One morning, camped by the stream, we got up before dawn to fish. It was 10 degrees, snowing sideways, and our waders and boots were frozen stiff from the day before. The dog refused to get out of the sleeping bag. I just looked at my son and said “reasonable people would wonder why we were doing this”. Ten minutes later, at first light, he had his first fish on. I intend to go back to the Grand Ronde to make photographs this spring when the snow melts. It is a beautiful stream.

The trip to Washington coast was also cold and snowing, with snow on the beaches right down to the tide line. Despite this, some nice images were made in some of my favorite places, Ruby and Fourth beaches, and along the Hoh River.

Otherwise, I have been shooting indoors for most of January and February. I have been doing mostly black and white figurative work with models, dancers, and a month to month series with a pregnant woman. For those into black and white photography, I have latched onto a mix of T-400, pyrogallol, warm-tone paper, and amidol that makes for beautiful skin tones with nudes and portraits. Look for some of these images in our people section.

Spring is a great time to think about portraiture. We do studio and location commissioned portrait work (and nudes). We are a perfect choice for those desiring to have artist made and signed portraits done with traditional film photography. Contact us for pricing and details.
