Ron Byers
For the last four decades I have worked as a fine arts photographer and photo illustrator, providing images for book and magazine publishers.
Before moving to the country near Soldiers Grove in the mid 1980’s with my wife, Ellen, I worked in Madison as co-curator at Focal Point Photographic Gallery. I also ran a custom printing service and taught photography classes thru the UWM-Extension Services. In the mid 1990’s I began selling my personal work thru the art show circuit, traveling throughout the Upper Midwest.
From the beginning, my passion for photography has been more of a process of inner exploration. The images can be metaphorical stepping stones to rich, personal associations,
vehicles to carry the viewer into the realm of the surreal. The art of photography is in the seeing; the craft is rendering what has been seen into the fullness of its spirit. A photograph
to me can be not only a literal window to the world but also a mirror to an inner landscape.
Here, the viewers must bring something of themselves to fully activate the “poetic” image.
