Clyde Butcher: Lifeworks in Photography

September 6, 2024 – December 28, 2024

Clyde Butcher is an American photographer and conservationist whose photographic career spans 50 years. Inspired by sharing the beauty of natural places, Butcher spends time in remote, rugged territory, capturing the unique characteristics of each region.

His enticing photographs are an invitation to slow down and contemplate the beauty and fragility of the natural world. His use of large-format, black-and-white photography imbues each image with a sense of timelessness and depth that creates an emotional resonance with the viewer.

Butcher’s photographs champion environmental conservation by encouraging people to fall in love with and appreciate natural landscapes and, through that, to become conservation advocates.
 
“Lifeworks in Photography is not just about the visual narrative captured in each frame, but also a call to action – to follow your passions and find purpose and, in doing so, become a beacon of positive change in the world,” said Butcher.
 
There will be a presentation by Clyde Butcher via Zoom at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, along with other presentations and workshops during this exhibit. 
 
“Clyde Butcher: Lifeworks in Photography” is organized by Window of the Eye Inc., and toured by Photographic Traveling Exhibitions of Los Angeles, Calif.
