Gerard Franciosa (b.Queens, NY 1967) has been photographing for over 30 years. He studied photography and art at Pratt Institute where he developed a love for photographic printing. As the owner of My Own Color Lab, a custom darkroom facility, he works hand in hand with artists, museums and galleries printing work for exhibition, allowing him to continue to pursue his quest for the perfect print. He lives on Staten Island with his wife and two children.

Artist Statement: I find myself drawn to particular places, landscapes that reveal a personality and emit a force that excites me, scares me or gives me solace. These locations, not necessarily beautiful, often visually banal, become energized by a streak of light, a dense shadow, a path with no exit, or a view through a spray of branches. My photographs index disturbances, both visual and perceived, caused by light, form and the geometry of chaos and stillness.
