Wynn Bullock is widely recognized as one of the 20th Century’s most innovative photographers. His interest in the visual arts began in Paris in 1929. The work of the French Impressionists, Moholy-Nagy and Man Ray redirected his concert singing career to photography. He had over 100 one person exhibitions from New York, Chicago and San Francisco, to Tokyo, London and Paris. His images are widely collected and have been the subject of five books. Bullock’s “Color Light Abstractions” is premiering in this Lumiere exhibition.

Al Weber’s career spans six decades. He is internationally recognized for the breadth of his work and contributions as a teacher and mentor. Weber’s images have been shown in over 200 exhibitions. An accomplished commercial photographer, his commissions include work for Time-Life, Fortune and Holiday magazines. Corporate clients include Dupont, Kaiser, International Harvester, Eastman Kodak, Polaroid and Hasselblad. His photographs are in the permanent collections of The Art Institute of Chicago, M. H. de Young Museum, UCLA, Utah Museum of Fine Arts and the Ansel Adams Collection.

Laura Noel makes contemporary photographs that are inspired in part by the color work of notable photographers active in the street photography scene of the 1970s and 80s. Through much of her fifteen year career, Noel has explored symbolism in the American cultural landscape and addressed ideas about the national identity. Her work has been shown in over 50 group and individual exhibitions and is held in private and public collections.
