Talking to Artists

With Photographer Lori Ryerson (Episode 28)


Listen Later

Synopsis: 

We had a lively chat about Lori's inspiration as a "generalist" photographer. She shared her incredible photo adventures to locations such as Antarctica, the Moab Desert and now, during Covid, her neighborourhood. She also talked about her involvement with Nature First and the responsibility of photographers to preserve and care for the places they shoot.


Artist Statement:
"I seek out little mysteries in mundane, daily occurrences, and looks for echoes left behind in urban and ancient landscapes. In an increasingly noisy universe, I use my photography to create a balm of silence in a quiet corner.

Sixteen years of studying flying trapeze in the Toronto cirque community changed my perspective on the world. A lifelong exposure to Japanese culture gave me an appreciation for fine details, and how negative spaces contribute to the tale.

My camera has become both my brush and my pen, allowing me to tell the stories I find in my viewfinder."
