night photography at U.C. Berkeley Extension, U.C. Santa Cruz, College
of Marin, the Cape Cod Photographic Workshops, RayKo Photo Center in San
Francisco, and the Photographic Resource Center at Boston University.
He has written articles about Night Photography for Camera and Darkroom,

Rebecca
Chang
"I got to follow my passion for photography in 1998 and found drawn
to using varying combinations of light, motion, form and grain to heighten
fleeting moments of everyday scenes. What emerged are several distinct
black & white series, from urban landscapes to environmental portraits
to night photography to foreign travel. Though varied, these works show
influences from my interest in film noire and architectural details, and
reflect the mundane, the romantic, the brooding, or the surreal. This
is my first Open Studio with Studio Nocturne (previously with Art Explosion
and Calumet Gallery). I am delighted to be part of this talented group."

Harry Friedlander
"Over the past several years I have been using photography to document
the subtle but constant changes to the built environment of our cities.
As a practicing architect, my livelihood has a direct affect on how, when,
where and why our cities change, building by building, brick by brick.
Recently, I have been capturing the subtle beauty of our cities as seen
through the filter of nighttime and artificial lights and lighting's impact
on our perceptions of building and space. ToddFriedlander.com
Randy
Gunning
"I have been taking pictures for more than 20 years, but I
have only been showing for the last five. While I have worked in many
different types of photography, I always come back to photographing at
night because of that special quality of light you find with very long
exposures."

Mark
Jaremko
"My interest in photography started during my childhood years in
Toronto, when my father gave me my first Kodak Brownie Hawkeye camera.
For the past many years, my focus has been on night photography in urban
and industrial settings. I have always been fascinated by the interplay
of static and moving objects, and how meaning is conveyed by color as
well as composition. Although I photograph at all times of the day,
the peaceful and secluded nature of the night draws me in. Having moved
on from the Brownie, most work is now done in high resolution digital
format. Currently, I live in San Mateo with my lovely and talented wife,
angelic two year old and crabby old cat. This is my third open studio
exhibit."
Deborah
Rourke "I live and work in Northern California as a Landscape and Fine Art Photographer. Most of my images are shot after dark. Night triggers my primitive instinct to be on guard and aware of danger. This adrenaline rush in dark mysterious places energizes me and challenges me to see what most people are unable to see often yielding moody surreal images. This is the driving force behind the images I create. "

Greta
& Manu Schnetzler
Emmanuel (Manu) Schnetzler was born in Strasbourg, France where he began
taking photos at age 15 when he spent his first night in a darkroom. He
published his first photo a few years later and was a photography instructor
at summer camps on the Côte d'Azur. Greta Schnetzler is a native
of Alabama where she first studied photography and worked as a photographer
for a small town newspaper. She has also studied painting and drawing
at the San Francisco Art Institute. For the past seven years they have
been pursuing a common vision in their collaborative photography work.
Greta and Manu reside and work on Potrero Hill where they have exhibited
their work with other "Hill" artists in group exhibits. Greta
and Manu have also shown their work in various solo exhibitions. www.schnetzler.com
Lena
Tsakmaki Lena lives and works in the San Francisco Bay area. Her format of choice is the 4x5 view camera. The unsurpassed beauty and subtlety of black and white gelatin silver prints keep her a dedicated film and wet darkroom user in an ever changing photographic world. She is more interested in what the mind sees, hence she is drawn to night or low light interior situations, where not everything is revealed at once and the imagination finds space to roam. Her images have been exhibited in the US and Europe. This is her fifth Studio Nocturne. www.lenatsakmaki.com
John
Vias
"Every day and night and no matter where, we are surrounded by beauty.
But most of us wear blinders. We fill our time with appointments and obligations
and scurry through life, rarely bothering to look around and appreciate
the beauty of our surroundings. At night, once-familiar objects can take
on a magical quality, yet we are even less likely to see the beauty of
nighttime scenes in our rush homeward. I try to capture the beauty of
overlooked objects, and I encourage you to take a closer look." www.johnvias.com
Roxanne
Worthington
"I searched years for ways to express myself creatively. Almost by
accident, I took a photography class. The first night I spent in the darkroom
was like falling down the rabbit hole. I was in Wonderland. That was nine
years ago. Whether I am staging scenes with dolls, shooting at night or
composing blurry out-of-focus “street” images, photography, for me, is
almost always about asking questions to learn more about my inner life
and place in the world. The subject matter, style and photographic process
may change but my interest in inner exploration and dreams seems to be
constant." www.mesart.com/rworthington
