This post is to let my clients know that I have moved out of my studio space in downtown Toledo. Although there is a lot of great creative artists that have studio space in the Secor Building the space really wasn't working for me. Since the Lucas County Arena opened downtown parking has become a problem. The location has become rather inconvenient for my clients. So I have moved out of the space.
For now, I am without a proper studio space for my photography. I will continue to offer my services on location and in my clients' homes. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Although this was a hard decision to make, I do feel like I made the right one. Moving out of the space has helped me take stock of my creative activities and have inspired me to start painting and drawing again. I will also continue to concentrate on my fine art photography as always. Please be sure to check back to see my newest work.

Dramatic B&W
This is my second time entering into an I ♥ Faces photo challenge. This time the theme is "Dramatic B&W" photography. My entry is a photograph I took at The Columbus Zoo. It was a hot summer day and this little girl was trying to cool herself in the mist.

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. For more information on upcoming PRIZM educational workshops in the visual and literary arts visit our website at www.myprizm.com or email prizm@bex.net.

Wow, it's been almost a month since my last post. Geez, things have been busy around here! I've taken a trip, had several photo sessions, and have a few exhibitions that I've been in, and a few more that I'm getting ready for.
But what I really want to tell you about is PRIZM Creative Community. PRIZM Creative Community is a non-profit 501 (c. ) (3) created to inspire and encourage artistic expression in literary and visual arts from students to professional, and to bring to the communities the cultural enrichment of the arts.

I recently joined PRIZM and it has been a great experience. There are a lot of opportunities to network with other artists and participate in exhibitions around town. It's a great group for any artist that wants to give back to the community. Click here for more information about membership.
