The Galerie Camera Obscura presents an exhibition by Jeffrey Conley entitled Révérence.
Conley’s photography is an ode to nature, which remains the sole subject of his work.
It captures its beauty in privileged places and moments: the Pacific coast and forests of Oregon, Iceland, Yosemite Park, captured in the morning light, the mist, under the snow… moment when everything disappears before a serene contemplation, a connection with the elements.
Whether it isolates a detail or opens onto a grandiose landscape, it aims for simplicity and balance.
As if to symbolize this communion, Conley sometimes inhabits the landscape with a discreet presence, a distant silhouette that he can embody himself by triggering the shutter remotely.
Conley takes extreme care in the laboratory work, in the correct restitution of the shots. The perfect quality of his platinum prints, more than a technical performance, is a real element of his creation: this perfection joins the pure, almost abstract sound of his musical offering to nature.
Born in 1969 in New York State, Jeffrey Conley studied photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology. In 1991, he moved to California, to Yosemite National Park, in the heart of the Sierra Nevada mountains. He intensely explored and photographed the park’s grandiose landscapes and taught photography at the Ansel Adams Gallery. He now lives in the Willamette Valley, Oregon.
