Opening Reception - Dallas Portfolio Exchange #7

David Lyles started the exchange in 2001 in an effort to collect and share fine art photography with his contemporaries in the Dallas market.

Each of the 12 professional photographers selected submits 13 identical, archival, photographic prints from one single image; and each artist receives a portfolio of each others work with the 13th print being framed and displayed in various Dallas venues over the course of the year.

All of the artists choose their own image to trade and exhibit. Although commercial assignment images are discouraged, none of the imagery is edited by David in an attempt to encourage total creative freedom.

“I’ve had the opportunity to collect some magnificent fine art prints over the last seven years through this exchange; I hope you can join me in celebrating our seventh season opening at the Magnolia Gallery, where you’ll have an opportunity to meet the talent and associate faces with all of these fabulous images.”

This year the twelve contributing photographers are: Stewart Cohen,Elena Cone, Max Helfman, Scott Jenke, Lorie Leigh Lawrence, David Lyles, Scogin Mayo, Nancy Newberry, Eric Pearle, Daniel Piassick, Ken Smith and Greg Stephens.
