Kenneth Laurence Neal

What I love about photography is that it enables me to paint with light. Cityscapes, street photography and landscapes, particularly using low light and long exposure techniques, are my special focus. I also have always loved black and white photography, especially emphasizing a cimena noir atmosphere.

My work has been included in the Saatchi ARTPARIS exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris and I have shown in venues in Pennsylvania and New York City. The latter shows include "The Haunted Gallery" (Chashama Gallery), "Points of View"(1199SEIU Gallery), "Imagine" (The Cell Gallery), the historic Salmagundi Art Club's Photography and Graphics exhibition, and Long Island Photo Gallery's "Street Life" exhibition. Additionally, my photo "Urban Nature NY" is featured as cover art on the book, "Still the Same Hawk: Reflections on Nature and New York" (Fordham Press). I have twice won the first place prize in the Canon "Imagine" magazine "Take Your Best Shot" contest. Additionally, my photo essay, "The Only Way is Up," was featured in Nikon's "N-Photo" Magazine. Most recently, my photo "Dark Passage #2 was selected in an international competition to be exhibited at the Valid World Hall gallery in Barcelona.
