Artist Talk by William Pitcher
Saturday July 10 2010 at Island Mountain Arts Public Gallery
William Pitcher decided to become a photographer while sitting in a bar in Buffalo, New York. With a couple of beers on the table in front of him, a jukebox playing in the corner, and a life size image of a scantily clad Marilyn Monroe on the wall, he proclaimed this fact to everyone within earshot - it was 1954, and he was seven years old.
This surreal-like atmosphere set the stage for a lifetime of visualization and unconventional thought. As a student of light and line, colour and composition, William has an innate understanding of how a camera ‘sees’ compared to how the human brain assembles an image.
Primarily a storyteller, William’s photographic career has centered on industrial projects across Canada, and his reputation for working under difficult lighting conditions has allowed him to maintain an international client list, even while living in a small Rocky Mountain community. Scheduled for 2008 are projects in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, and New York.
