The Photographers:
Dianne Bunis is a resident of Groton, MA. She specializes in large format
photography of the New England landscape. She
photographs nature with a field camera and 4 x 5 film, which
she develops herself. The images are printed on woodbased
fiber paper.
“Light in nature is the inspiration for my subject matter.
Photography allows me to create images that capture the
beauty and simplicity of the natural world. I’m attracted to
subtle renderings in light and shadow as close to the way the human eye
experiences them.”
