AMIE G. TANNENBAUM is a Fine Art film photographer who exhibits in the Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., area. In this digital age of photo imaging and post-camera processing, her images reflect a preference for in-camera mastery: creating and composing photographic images inside the camera where they are captured on Velvia color slide film.

As an active member of the League of Reston Artists and the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, Amie regularly participates in LRA art/photography shows, NVPS group show, and camera club competitions, as well as Fairfax County (Virginia) and Adams County (Pennsylvania) Arts Councils shows and special exhibits

Amie's work has garnered considerable recognition and many top awards in local shows and exhibits around the tri-state region:

  • 2005, Exhibited a number of works at the Center for the Arts in Manassas, Virgina. First one-person show in Bethesda, Maryland.
  • January 2007, invited to display more than a dozen prints at the Mason District Government Center in Annandale, VA, and from April through June, thirty images on exhibit at the Washington Technology Park, Chantilly, Virginia.
  • June through September 2007, one-person exhibit at the corporate headquarters of LMI, Tysons Corner.
  • October 2007, three images were juried into the JCCNV Photography Competition and Exhibition, and after being shown in Virginia, were sent to Beit Shemesh, Israel for exhibit.
  • January 2008, image accepted into the prestigious Wilmington (DE) 75th International Exhibition of Photography.
  • September 2008, image accepted into the the Center for the Arts ( Manassas, VA) Regional Juried Exhibition.
  • October 2008, image accepted into the 29th Northern Counties (United Kingdom) International Salon of Photography.

In addition to her ongoing participation in area photography classes, critiques and workshops, Amie is frequently a guest lecturer on Abstract Photography at Georgetown University. Her images can be found in permanent public and private collections.

Amie has studied photographic composition and visual design with the internationally renowned photographers Freeman Patterson and André Gallant at workshops in both Canada and South Africa. These invaluable learning experiences, plus extensive international travel and living abroad have all contributed to expanding her visual awareness and influenced the scope and direction of her photographic life.

Primarily known as a natural light photographer, Amie specializes in extreme macro and close-up photographic techniques to capture spectacular "color impressions" (that is, bodacious blends of colors resulting from sunlight shining through studio stained glass and producing vivid colorations that reflect on and penetrate through or magically transform glass objects or other subjects). The resulting images have been recorded directly as they appeared in-camera&em;no gels, no filters, no artificial light sources were used, nor were any of the images digitally manipulated or enhanced by computer programs.
