Steve Immel is an exponent of the classic photography of the mid-century masters. He practices the medium with an eye toward graceful composition and views each frame as a discreet design project with the objectives of elegance, balance and precision. He hopes to reveal the beauty of the subject however ordinary or simple. In both the wet and digital darkrooms Immel has been recognized as a master printer whose images display rare tonal range, luminosity and acuity. Immel has displayed his works in dozens of juried exhibitions across the US, in Canada and Europe. Twice he has been awarded the Masters Cup for excellence in color photography though he is best known for his toned black and white images. He has been recognized in Black and White magazine’s Singular Image completion and twice awarded Best of Photography in the Midland Art Museum’s Annual Juried Exhibition. He is represented by Wilder Nightingale Fine Art in Taos and the Taos Historic Museums.
