Stacey Boge

“I have been taking pictures for as long as I can remember; not because I wanted to be a photographer but because I had this need. From the start people would always tell me their secrets whether I asked or not. The camera has brought strangers that much closer to me. I have been working on a series of landscape and details of my surroundings.”
Stacey Boge studied for a BA in fine art at Parsons School of Design, New York, in 1981, and then in 1983 went on to do her MA at Yale. Since then she has worked as a commercial and fine art photographer in NY, her clients include  Estee Lauder, Donna Karan, Revlon, Sam and Libby, and Jo Malone. This series entitled “Reincarnation” is part of her personal work “She picks up bits and pieces... a  discarded leaf, a shrivelled rose, a broken stem...things most of us  would walk by or heedlessly trample. And then, in what can only be a  sort of Zen-like contemplative state, she fashions them into an image that resonates with an essence, of beauty, of life, of the thing itself. These images are continually surprising because they are both  still and dynamic. The eye is quite content to rest on one small twig until it is distracted by an out-of-focus thorn, the eye is moved first around, and then through the frame into another dimension”,  Michelle Bogre, Chairman, Parsons School of Design.
