Jury Members

 

Niniane Kelley is a fine art photographer living and working in San Francisco and Lake County, California. A native of the Bay Area, she is a San Jose State University graduate, earning a BFA in Photography in 2008.

Drawn to photography for both the immediacy of the image-making process and the intrinsic alchemy of the darkroom ritual, she crafts the majority of her imagery using traditional 19th-century processes that give each piece its own unique character. But never one to cease experimentation, she is also simultaneously developing new complementary bodies of work using Polaroid and plastic cameras to bring a fresh perspective to both her figure and landscape work.

In addition to producing photographic images, Kelley is also extensively involved in alternative processes education and research. After many years in the fine art gallery world, she most recently worked as a photographer and manager at San Francisco’s tintype portrait studio, Photobooth. She is currently a writer and curator for Analog Forever Magazine.

Brian Taylor is known for his innovative explorations of alternative photographic processes including historic 19th Century printing techniques, mixed media, and hand made books. His work has been exhibited nationally and abroad in numerous solo and group shows and is included in the permanent collections of the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and the International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House, Rochester, NY.

Brian received his B.A. Degree in Visual Arts from the University of California at San Diego, an M.A. from Stanford University, and his M.F.A. from the University of New Mexico and served as a professor of Photography for over 30 years, and Chair of the Department of Art and Art History at San Jose State University. Brian has now happily returned to his own art studio having recently retired from his position as Executive Director of the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel, CA.

Ed Carey is the former gallery director of Gallery 291 (San Francisco and Mill Valley). Gallery 291 emphasized exhibitions of alternative photographic processes that are an important part of the rich history of photography and represented a select group of contemporary and emerging artists.
