“To me there are no “right shots” you are capturing moments, because my “right shot” might not be someone else’s, all that’s to say, trust your eye.” - Victoria Ford The Bishop Gallery is proud to present Victoria Ford's first solo exhibition in New York City, From the Pit. Photographers are often credited with being pivotal players in the recount of history, due to their ability to capture and document moments, that would otherwise be lost in time. The exhibition will depict stills from Victoria’s view of live performances and events, from in and around the mosh pit. The exhibition will run through September 29th. About Victoria Ford Victoria Ford has been fortunate to capture the essence of some of the best live performances from an early age, but only decided to hone her craft and share her striking imagery with the world in 2011. She credits her mom, music and fashion for her career as a photographer. This ubiquitous photog captures concerts and festivals featuring some of the world’s biggest stars, in their element. A true music lover, Ford has been in attendance at concerts for just about every genre of music, capturing raw emotion from the likes of Prince, Blondie, The Flaming Lips, The Roots, Pharrell Williams and host of other national and international acts. Victoria who has adopted the tagline “capturing music the way I see it” is regarded as a force by creatives and executives in the ever evolving music industry. Her work was recently featured on Vogue.com for her contribution to the book Mfon: Women Photographers of the African Diaspora. Victoria has also been featured in digital pieces on Billboard, Ebony, Essence, The New York Times, Okayplayer, Life and Times, and Lomography to name a few. Her work can also be seen in the book Smithsonian Rock and Roll: Live and Unseen. To learn more about Victoria’s journey visit her website at www.sneakshot.net. |
