Alumni Profile: David Butler

David Butler graduated from the NESOP Professional Photography Program in 2008 and has spent the last 3 years based in Phoenix, AZ working as the Brand Photographer for skin care company philosophy.

In this role, David is responsible for all of their advertising images ranging from in-store display ads seen in Macy’s, Nordstrom and Sephora, to Magazine ads seen in Vogue, InStyle, People and Harper’s Bazaar, as well as any digital advertising.

“Attending NESOP was one of those critical life changing decisions for me, I am sure I am not the only graduate that feels this way.  I have been working night and day to make my dream come true since the second I enrolled at NESOP, and I have never really stopped working (luckily). There are many truly powerful forms of art, and I believe photography is up there with the most efficient mediums that communicate a message, story, emotion, and even sound and smell sometimes.   I am amazed and inspired everyday by the possibilities and potential one person and one camera contain.”

Orianna Reardon: Featured Emerging Artist | Panopticon Gallery

Orianna Reardon: Featured Emerging Artist | Panopticon Gallery

2012 NESOP grad Orianna Reardon has been selected as Panopticon Gallery’s next Featured Emerging Artist.

“Orianna has been working on a series of self-portraits and experimenting with both large and small format cameras, including Polaroid and the new Impossible Project film.

Reardon’s images are dark, mysterious and in some instances very revealing. Photographs from the artist immersed in the landscape are juxtaposed with staged images in a studio setting. Just when you think you know what she is doing, she changes direction with a click of the shutter.”  - Panopticon Gallery

Orianna will have her photos displayed at Panopticon Gallery from July 12 – September 11th. Opening reception will be held Thursday, July 12 from 5:30 – 7:30 PM – stop by and meet her!

2011 NESOP Grad Katie Kaizer Published in N Magazine, June

2011 NESOP alum Katie Kaizer recently had her photos published in two articles appearing in N Magazine’s June 2012 Issue, Nantucket, MA.

“Katie spent the month of March in Uganda, volunteering her photography to small organizations that are dramatically changing the lives of women and children who have been devastated by decades of violence, disease, and poverty. “I was trying to give these women a platform, a way to tell their story… they were so happy,” she says, holding back tears.”
