DARYL-ANN SAUNDERS photography :: Fine art exhibition resume ::

Brief Bio [Return to top]

Daryl-Ann Saunders' fine-art photography is of subway locations, natural & urban landscapes, nudes and conceptual interpretations of ideas. To do this she utilizes an array of traditional, digital and alternative photo processes including pinhole camera, Polaroid transfer, toning and hand coloring.

Saunders began as a self-taught performance and documentary photographer. She then went on to study at The School of Visual Arts and The International Center of Photography, both in NYC. Her fine art work has been recognized by the Salmagundi Club of NY with a Certificate of Merit Award and was featured in a Polaroid Corporation advertising campaign that garnered a Kelly Award for Creative Excellence in Magazine Advertising.

Exhibited nationally, her fine art work is in the corporate collection of Pfizer, Inc., GE Corporation as well as other collections, corporate and private. A two page article highlighting her night subway series, On The Platform, has been published in Double Exposure, the online publication of Photoworkshop.com and printed in Digital Imaging Magazine.
