Snapshot: Julie Simon
May 17th, 2010 | Category: Spring 2010
Using digital photography much as a painter uses a paintbrush, Julie Simon blends photographically generated colors, shapes and movement with her computer. An associate professor and the director of the B.S. in Corporate Communication program in UB’s School of Communications Design, Simon achieves a striking balance of light and movement in her abstract photos. “That photographed light, in motion, becomes the raw material for the finished work,” Simon has said in describing the images. A selection of her images, including the one on this page, titled Light Painting: 12.57.59, were displayed last spring and summer in the UB Student Center Gallery.
