Illuminations

In this volume, photographer Joyce Tenneson presents ethereal portraits of the human body, expanding on past themes, working increasingly with combined imagery, and creating multi-panel images which incorporate architectural and sculptural details.

Her work is so unique, instantly identifiable, and down right pretty that all the adjectives have been used up. Illuminations is not however a retrospective but a new collection that expands on her previous work and includes architectural and sculptural details. A departure from Tenneson's previous work. Illuminations is beautifully printed and an important addition to any photographer's library.
