Bill Finger



Seattle-based photographer Bill Finger - who worked earlier in his career as an assistant cameraman - uses his knowledge of cinematography and set design to create amazingly realistic crime scene dioramas. Each diorama is constructed specifically to be photographed. Like filmmaking all staging and lighting is done looking through the lens. Once photographed the diorama is then destroyed. Bill explains, "Through this process I create a temporary space, which like a film set, only lives on within the image.”

Photographer Eric Staller was enchanted by New York City's, plazas, bridges, parks and monuments, but struggled to find a way to celebrate the city's architecture in the 1970s.
Light Drawings, 1976-1980 were exhibited worldwide and received a lot of attention from art galleries and publications. As he tells us, "Even the most technical people in the photography world were mystified about how these photos were made."
