The Story Behind Mermaid Farm: Beauty & Struggle
Join us on Saturday, September 27th as MVM Guest Curator Lexi Van Valkenburgh shares her approach to photography and the techniques she has developed over the years. She will offer her perspective on cultivating a personal style that reflects who you are and how you see the world. A licensed drone pilot, Lexi will also discuss the creation of her Mermaid Farm photo series, highlighting the choices she made in documenting the farm. In addition, she will provide insight into photographing a wide range of subjects, including people, animals, landscapes, and architecture, and reflect on her experiences capturing Martha’s Vineyard. Throughout her talk, Lexi will offer guidance on creating images that are authentic, compelling, and deeply personal.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to view Mermaid Farm: Beauty & Struggle, the exhibition curated by Lexi in the Adele H. Waggaman Community Gallery, before it closes on October 12.
