Paul Flaggman

The City after Dark

Afterimage Gallery is pleased to feature its first one-person show of the outstanding urban night photography of Paul Flaggman. Dr. Flaggman was born (1947) and raised in Detroit, Michigan. He practiced neurology in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for 25 years. During that time, he was a photography collector (and still is), and he began to learn the art himself. By 2001, he had retired from his medical practice to start a full time career as a fine-art photographer. His night cityscapes have met with great success, and he is now represented in a number of major galleries. He currently lives in both New Mexico and Florida.


Statement
Neither cutting edge nor avante-garde nor pictorial are words descriptive of my photographic vision. Nocturnal, urban landscape photographs may be an antithesis of the heroic western landscape photographs of the Ansel Adams tradition. I strive to place my work left of an intersection between this tradition and the landscape and architectural photographs of Michael Kenna, George Tice and Berenice Abbott.

My monochromatic, time-exposed cityscapes are, to me, at once familiar and ambiguous, heroic and reserved and just plain fun to make. I am fortunate to have studied with John Sexton, George Tice, Bruce Barnbaum and Michael Kenna.

My Tri-X negatives are printed on Ilford Multigrade Fiber Based Warm Toned paper and archivally processed and toned first in Kodak Sepia then selenium.
