SUMMARY:In Focus: A Conversation on Photography
DESCRIPTION:Reframe your understanding of photography with photographers Jason Masters and Kat Wilson as they share behind-the-scenes stories from a career’s worth of images. This engaging conversation explores each artist’s distinctive style\, the ideas and creativity that shape their work\, and the moments that define their practices. \nPresented in connection with Kwame Brathwaite: The 1970s\, this event invites guests to consider how photographers develop narratives and perspectives through their unique lenses. \nAfter the conversation\, enjoy dinner at AMFA’s Park Grill. Call 501.396.0390 or email parkgrill@arkmfa.org for reservations. \n\n\nAbout Jason Masters\nJason Masters is a Little Rock based photographer specializing in fashion\, conceptual portraiture\, lifestyle\, and advertising. Jason was born in Dallas and grew up in a small town in Texas. He built a home and lived in the jungles of Costa Rica during his early 20s. Shortly after moving back to the states\, he met his future wife in Austin\, which ultimately brought him to Little Rock. \n\n\n\nJason’s almost 30 year career began in Austin working for a film production company that specialized in feature films and commercials. After relocating to Arkansas\, getting married and starting a family\, Jason’s career transitioned from film to photography. He remembers the exact day when he fell in love with fashion photography and tells the story often. \n\n\n\nJason’s favorite work is usually inspired by classic films\, storybooks\, vintage fashion\, or simply a unique or beautiful location. His photography has a tendency for simple\, clean-lined portraits captured from a formal perspective. \n\n\n\nAlthough Jason’s name is usually credited as a publishing tradition\, he will always remind you that his world of photography is a collaboration of hair/make-up artists\, stylists\, art directors\, photo assistants\, magazine editors\, clients\, snake handlers\, etc\, etc.  \n\n\n\n\nAbout Kat Wilson\nKat Wilson is an experimental artist based in Northwest Arkansas\, where she received her MFA. Wilson’s work is theatrical\, participatory\, and humanistic and often involves collaboration with others\, including\, in many photography projects\, the subjects of the photos themselves. \n\n\n\nEarly in her career\, Wilson gained national success with her Habitats series of digital photographs\, which\, like her current #SelfieThrones and Warrior Women series\, uses centuries-old compositional devices to create a sense of transcendence. \n\n\n\nWilson’s work has been published in Communication Arts\, the Los Angeles Times\, and The Washington Post\, displayed at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art\, and projected at the Louvre\, among others. \n\n\n\n\n\nIn Focus: A Conversation on Photography is supported in part by the Alice L. Walton Foundation. \nKwame Brathwaite: The 1970s is organized by the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts. \nPhotos courtesy of Jason Masters and Kat Wilson.
