Artist Talk with Lou Jones

Join the Leica Gallery Boston on Saturday, December 6th from 12-2PM for a conversation with photographer Lou Jones.

In this talk, Jones will speak about his career broadly, and highlight his recent work from the panAFRICAproject— which aims to create a contemporary visual portrait of modern Africa. Using photography, & heretofore unavailable technologies, the intention is to establish a repository of images that represents each of the 54 individual countries devoid of the preconceived, western notions of distress: conflict, pestilence and poverty, i.e. violence tourism. The work documents an accurate picture of the highlights & inner workings of the most progressive twenty-first century continent.

Lou Jones' eclectic career has evolved from commercial to the personal. It has spanned every format, film type, artistic movement and technological change. He maintains a studio in Boston, Massachusetts and has photographed for Fortune 500 corporations, international companies and local small businesses including Federal Express, Nike and the Barr Foundation; completed assignments for magazines and publishers all over the world such as Time/Life, National Geographic and Paris Match; initiated long term projects on the civilwars in Central America, death row, Olympics Games and pregnancy; and published multiple books.

Copies of panAFRICAproject volumes I and II will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
