2928 West 13th St. Ashtabula, Ohio 44004 phone: 440-964-3396 Search This Site: FEBRUARY EXHIBIT: Posted: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 Nature Photographs by Troia Photography The Ashtabula Arts Center will present an exhibit of nature and wildlife photographs by Troia Photography in February. The exhibit will run February 2 - March 1, with an opening reception held on Friday, February 6, from 7 - 9 p.m. An accomplished commercial, industrial and portrait photographer, John Troia’s images have been published in “Industrial Photography,” “Horticulture,” and “Cleveland Magazine.” His son, Keith, credits him with his introduction to the art form as a teenager. Keith has also done a variety of freelance work as a commercial, wedding and portrait photographer, and has worked in professional labs processing and printing color and black and white film. However, the subject of choice for both artists is nature photography. They, along with fellow photographer Amy Gulaian, have spent years observing and recording nature and wildlife. While much of their work depicts wildlife in Ohio, they have also traveled to Alaska, Maine, Massachusetts, Virginia, South Carolina, and Michigan to observe and photograph animals. The artists prefer nature art because they feel that through their photography they are able to stop time, for a moment, yet still allow the spirit of the moment to live forever. They also process and print their own works, thus ensuring that they constantly retain the integrity of the scenes captured on film. Works by Troia Photography are exhibited at over 45 art festivals annually, and are also carried by a number of art and gift shops in northern Ohio.
