Shawn’s program is titled "The Art of Still Life." In this program, Shawn Saumell will present his process and work based on using found objects to sculpt and assemble still life tableaus, which are then photographed. These maquettes and vignettes range from minimal abstracts to hyper-real worlds; from monochrome to vibrant false color. Come and visit his worlds of constructed photography.
