Master Print Edition
William Wegman has gained international recognition for his works in photography, painting, drawing, and video. Since the 1970s, he has created photographic compositions involving dogs, primarily his own Weimaraners, in various costumes and poses. A conceptual humorist, Wegman has been aptly named a "master of whimsy."

In her series Double Life Kelli Connell combines multiple images featuring the same model, depicting various polarities of identity through the subtle use of clothing and body language. In these complex situations, Connell explores the exterior and interior self, the irrational and rational self, and the masculine and feminine psyche. In the words of the artist, "The work represents an autobiographical questioning of sexuality and gender roles that shape the identity of the self in intimate relationships." Connell participated in Light Work's Artist-in-Residence Program in 2008. This Fine Print Program purchase includes a subscription to Contact Sheet.

In the early 1980s Tony Gleaton left his job as a fashion photographer to travel and pursue his own photography. He began living in small African villages in Mexico, Central America, and South America, photographing with a kindness and sensitivity that comes through in his beautiful black-and-white portraits. Gleaton's elegant images capture the essence of his subjects and pay homage to their rich culture. Gleaton participated in Light Work's Artist-in-Residence Program in 1991.

In her series Some Fox Trails in Virginia, Susan Worsham evokes a Southern Gothic atmosphere in which the verdure of this landscape and its people seems to have run wild and then aground. Worsham began the series when she was thirty-four and had moved back home to Virginia to care for her mother, her last living relative, who died shortly thereafter. With an exquisite use of color and an ability to weave a quiet thread of grace through every image, Worsham reveals the world of her childhood through the experience of an adult's eyes. Worsham participated in Light Work's Artist-in- Residence Program in 2010.This Fine Print Program purchase includes a subscription to Contact Sheet.

Leon Borensztein
American Portraits
Nazraeli Press, 2011
Signed book, limited edition of 2,000
96 pages, clothbound, 13 x 11"
60 duotone reproductions
Leon Borensztein's American Portraits brings together ten years of portaits by the photographer. Visiting his subjects at home, Borensztein would set up a generic backdrop behind his sitters and then take a step back to reveal a glimpse into their personal spaces. The resulting collection of photographs is a playful and touching look into the lives of the everyday Americans he encountered.
Suzanne Opton
Soldier / Many Wars
DECODE Books, 2011
Signed book, limited edition of 1,500
104 pages, hardbound, 9.5 x 12"
24 four-color reproductions
Portrait photographer Suzanne Opton's latest monograph Soldier / Many Wars reflects a curiosity about the military at a time of war. Focusing her lens on soldiers who recently returned from their tour of duty in Iraq, her images are both emotionally and politically poignant. "It is not sensationalism I am after. I am after the human being," writes Opton.
