As stark and stunning as the work of Ansel Adams, Natural Wonders: the Photography of Miguel Olivella, is the latest exhibition at the Artport Gallery. “Mr. Adams was the epitome of what I consider to be the perfect blend of art and photographer,” says Miguel Olivella, whose work will be displayed through May 4th at the gallery at Tallahassee Regional Airport. “His images captured my attention in 1971 and were the catalyst for my interest in photography.”
Working in black-and-white, and focusing his attention for this exhibition on the western United States, Miguel’s photos can raise the hair on the back of one’s neck—study the alpha wolf’s piercing eyes—or cause one to sigh with wonder while glimpsing the underside of a dandelion.
Miguel makes his living as a lawyer and also works as sports photographer for the FSU Athletic Department, as well as a stringer for a major wire service. His photos are published regularly in Unconquered Magazine, in FSU marketing materials and on several websites, including ESPN.com.
The exhibition is curated by the Council on Culture & Arts’ Arts in Public Places program on behalf of the City of Tallahassee.
