Welcome to Lumière's RU-vid page. Here you will find a library of videos produced by the gallery in support of our artists and exhibition programming. We hope you enjoy and share these videos.
Lumière offers one of the most diverse, photographic programs. The gallery features the work of over 75 master photographers, including vintage and contemporary prints. It’s image collection is the largest in the Southeastern United States. Subjects vary from landscape and portraiture to abstractions and architecture, in black and white as well as color.

Hi Tony! Very nice narrative and array of Vivian's works! I never realized it until now about Vivian being alive for 1 1/2 or 2 years after her photographs were auctioned! Did she live far from her storage shelter? I wonder why she didn't know that! It took John a long time to figure things out so he never made it to meet her before she died?
Hi Nicholas - The black fingernails are due to the use of Amidol as a developer - Brett and Cole both followed procedures Edward had established decades earlier. A side effect of exposure to Amidol are the black fingernails. Tony - Gallery Director at Lumiere
The developers for paper and negatives Brett/Edward/Cole used were actually staining agents--amidol and pyrogallic acid. And touching both will leave severe staining on your fingers and hands. The amidol will turn your finger nails black after two or three uses without gloves. But the pyrogallic acid will also stain--but starting out it is a more medium brown, but everything gets black over time. (I know, because I also develop the same way). However, I am careful to rinse my hands quickly after every use, and so I no longer have much staining.
As a photographer, i started 'doing', and only years later I began to get acquainted with the great masters. Getting to Mr Bullock was a tortuous road that took me from Ansel to Weston, Imogen, and the rest of the F.64 group and then to the likes of Sally Mann and Bullock. His photography, since I put my hands on one of his books, has been an inspiration, and it's a great opportunity to watch an interview with him taken almost 50 years back
It's nice to see this lovely tribute to master sculptor, David Hayes. Watch for one of his sculpture gardens coming to a college campus or historic downtown near you. (Your guide in this video is David M. Hayes, son of the artist.
Three years ago I started to take pictures, and she was the only one, why I started to photograph, because she inspired me from the first moment of immediately. This is my Instagram : @foxkoit I hope I make something good. And now I'm trying to take pictures of everything.
FoxKoit - Thanks for the comment I am so glad to hear that Vivian Maier's photography and her story Have inspired you. It has been a fascinating journey as the story has unfolded over the last few years. Keep checking back to the gallery web site (lumieregallery.net) for all the latest information on Vivian.
