Tina West’s Vintage Camera
 |
| © Tina West |
A unifying thread of simplicity exists throughout Tina West’s work. She uses a single light source, which causes seemingly meaningless objects to cast shadows that evoke a sense of wonder and awe.
From Kansas City, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. Living in New York since 1989, she is a commercial photographer working for clients such as Knopf Books, Vintage Books, Simon & Schuster, Citibank, Atlantic Records, Elle Magazine and Scientific American Magazine. This image is currently on view in the exhibition, MINUTES, at The Robin Rice Gallery through April 25.
