First Friday at Edgewater Gallery

Featured artist: Russ Christoff

Mendocino resident and award winning photographer, videographer and producer Russ Christoff has created images on nearly every continent and include his Public Television Series, Traveling California State Parks®.

 Russ Christoff:

“The art of photography is more than just capturing an image; it’s creating an image giving it a ‘sense of moment’. There’s a reason or story behind each of the photographs I exhibit. I shoot when it feels right, more so than when it looks right. The North Coast moments I choose are meant to stir a memory, or perhaps take the viewer to another place.”

Why is a Magna Chrome print so luminous?

The old masters like Rembrandt built their paintings with many translucent layers of ink. This is why a Rembrandt is like no other painting. The multi-dimensional effect achieved by layering, gave a unique luminosity to their work. The same is true of a Magna Chrome print. Special dyes are infused into a thick translucent coating. The image is not printed onto the surface, but rather has a depth that in effect glows. People that see a metal print for the first time, often think that the print is backlit.
