The Camera Obscura gallery presents for the first time the work of Jeffrey Conley.
“Photography is for me a kind of meditation which widens my perception of the existing and evolving world around us. I seek refuge and simplicity in my photographs; and I find in it a personal accomplishment that I sincerely hope others too can feel. ”
Jeffrey Conley
Jeffrey Conley is a landscape photographer, known for his monochrome prints, meticulously produced with traditional argentic processes in the darkroom and platinum / palladium coated by hand.
In 2011, his first monograph, Winter, was published by Nazraeli Press, out of print since. A second monograph, “Reverence,” focusing on Conley’s use of the platinum / palladium process, was published by Nazraeli Press in 2018.
Through her photography, Conley aspires to a balanced simplicity that evokes a feeling of wonder and respect for the natural world. The scale and palette vary from small, intimate and subtle, to large, grand and dramatic. He seeks to capture a meditative spirit, unique in its genre in landscape photography. He painstakingly strives to create unique, beautifully bright prints.
Originally from New York State, Jeffrey obtained a BFA in photographic studies from the Rochester Institute of Technology. In 1991, he moved to Yosemite National Park, among the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. There he explored the Sierra, photographed intensively, and taught photography at the Ansel Adams Gallery. He now lives in the Willamette Valley in Oregon with his wife and daughter.
