Anaba Tea Room is pleased to feature “Portraits of Milwaukee,” a photography exhibition by seasoned Milwaukee photographer, John O’Hara. Presenting
a focus on rural and urban landscapes, and portraits of people in their neighborhood surroundings, “Portraits of
Milwaukee” reflects John’s passion for capturing the beauty, diversity and people of the city he calls home.
With a Fine Art background in Painting and Graphics, John’s photographic skills have been honed from over 30
years of image-making, having transitioned from traditional black and white film and darkroom printmaking to current, high-end digital image capture and processing. Just as many artists throughout history have done before him, John embraces multiple influences, tools and rapidly changing technologies to achieve his artistic concepts. Using these techniques, John creates pieces that explore narrative potential, as well as images that are purely formal studies of composition, texture and color.
John was also an award-winning newspaper photojournalist for 10 years, working full time for the Journal Communications Publishing, Inc. He continues his impressive output working throughout the stylistic and environmental spectrum of editorial photojournalism, fine art photography, commercial marketing imagery, corporate
and personal portraiture, sports action, weddings and event photography. John is also a member of CoPA- the Coalition of Photographic Artists and the Wisconsin Art Guild. More of John’s work can be seen on his website, http://johnohara.zenfolio.com
The show will remain on view until Sunday, September 2, 2012.
