New Photography Exhibit

I know it's been a while, but I wanted to let you know about my new photography exhibit. I have a selection of my work on display at The Huntington Bank in Perrysburg as part of PRIZM's Art-In-Public-Places program. Please see PRIZM's press release below.


PRIZM Creative Community is currently featuring a display of High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Infrared photography by member and local photographer Janelle Lorenzen at the Huntington Bank Building on Rt. 20 in Perrysburg, OH.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging is a set of techniques allowing a greater dynamic range from lightest to darkest areas of an image than regularly possible with standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. The result is a hyper-real image with saturated colors and detailed shadows.

Infrared (IR) photography uses a filter on the front lens element to allow infrared light pass through to the image sensor while blocking nearly the entire visible light spectrum. Using this photo technique results in dreamlike images. These images are actually caused by foliage (such as tree leaves and grass) or other material reflecting light. This reflection is the same as when visible light is reflected from snow. Either HDR or IR photos can be enhanced with computer software designed for photo editing.

Photo artist Janelle Lorenzen received her BFA in Media Studies at The Columbus College of Art and Design in 2002. She owns Janelle Lorenzen Photography and focuses on portraits, fine art, and travel photography. Examples of her work are on display at the Huntington Building through April and on her website at www.LorenzenStudios.com.

PRIZM, along with local community partners, takes responsibility in providing local artists and community members opportunities to display and view creative expressions of life in Northwest Ohio. PRIZM provides numerous workshops in a variety of media and literary topics for members and guests. PRIZM’s goal is to enhance opportunities for all to experience creative expression.

PRIZM Creative Community is a 501 c. 3 nonprofit organization currently receiving partial funding from the Ohio Arts Council and Toledo Community Foundation.
