In a gallery near downtown Las Vegas, the works of eight photographers were selected to shine as an example of the city's rich pool of artists.
"Intersection: Recent Works by Las Vegas Photographers" is on display through April 23 at Reed Whipple Cultural Center Gallery.
The idea came from an Ohio organization that wanted to see more of Las Vegas than the neon lights.
The Society of Photographic Education in Oxford, Ohio, approached the city of Las Vegas last year. The SPE held its 39th annual conference last month in Las Vegas and asked the city to fill its galleries with the works of area photographers
"It was a chance for us to showcase local talent," Nancy Sloan, cultural leader for the city, said. "This is an intersection of all the different local artists' works."
Photographers were selected from the Las Vegas Artist Registry and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Sloan said.
The work of the artists -- Dawn Anderson, Catherine Angel, Ginger Bruner, Cara Cole, Kathleen Nathan, Zachary Harper, Charles Morgan, and Jeff Calvert -- were gathered by the city to produce the show.
"The show (at Reed Whipple) is a pulling together of many alternative photo processes," Sloan said. "It's not just black and white. "
Bruner, who also is a programmer and on-air personality for KNPR 89.5-FM, combined Japanese and Las Vegas influences.
The Las Vegas native digitally combined gold leaf with neon to produce glittering photos such as "Fremont Suite," a sweeping shot of the valley with digitally enhanced rainbows of color.
"I'm really digging on the neon thing right now," Bruner said. "It's beautiful, the color is fabulous."
In contrast to Bruner's color photos are the black-and-white photos of Anderson, also a Las Vegas native.
"It was an honor to be included with all the other artists," Anderson said. "This really shows the different kinds of (artists) and what we can do."
