Holiday Wreath Project :: Behind The Scenes
The Holiday Wreath Project was Keyhole Galleries first studio location shoot.
For many of us it was a first shooting in a studio.
We had two new photographers joining in.
There was a LOT of learning.
There was mixed nudity in that some of us again were strangers and modeling for each other.
and..
besides shooting the the holiday wreath project
SO much happened!!
The energy was contagious
and positively intoxicating!
Tremendous creativity occurred.
Here is my personal perspective:

Photographer :: Ronald Frazier
Ronald Douglas Frazier
Local self-taught photographer.
Has been working exclusively with digital photography for 10 years and 35mm in mostly black and white prior to that. Winner of several photography awards in the past at McLean County Amateur Art shows. Exhibited 3 times at the Sugar Creek Art Fair in Normal, IL. For 6 years was a regular at the Bloomington Farmer’s Market Artist’s Alley. Is currently showing a rotation of work at Main Gallery 404 in downtown Bloomington. A notable theme in a varied body of work is a singular take on Midwestern imagery. Frequent trips to Venice, Italy inspire intimate looks that only the locals see, and a passion for the garden provides lush flower photos in rich colors. A blog and a new direction in photography has led to exploration and self-discovery of the ‘Artful Nude’ with Keyhole Gallery group. Interesting work expected for this maturing photographer and his camera.
