Sacks is one of four photographers featured in the “Harmony III” show, which is the fifth in a series of on-going fine art photography exhibits featuring photographers who have studied pre-visualization with Richard Dischler for two or more years.
“Photography has always been a passion of mine,” said Sacks, “and I was first inspired by an uncle who worked as a professional photograper.” Sacks’ contribution to the show are black and white images – a broken window; close-up of an Arabian racehorse named Tehillah (In a Heartbeat); his wife; a rock smashed against a windshield, and a butterfly.
“Most [of the photographs] weren’t overly planned, but they did use techniques taught in Dischler’s pre-visualization workshops,” said Sacks. “For instance, the window and the butterfly both caught my attention, but then it was a matter of getting the correct shot, while the photography of Tehillah and the rock were planned before I even took my camera out. I had an idea of what I wanted to photograph. [The photo of my wife] wasn’t planned. It was very spontaneous and worked out well.”
Sacks’ work can be seen now through October 7. To learn more about the pre-visualization workshops caught at Keeble and Shuchat Photography in Palo Alto visit www.kspphoto.com, and to see more of Sacks’ work visit www.LarrySacksPhoto.com.
