Barbara Seiler has lived in New
York City and Los Angeles and has now settled in Galisteo. She
began her career working for studio photographer, Bud
Fraker, of Beverly Hills. Later, in New York and LA, she worked
as an assistant film editor, incorporating her stills into
documentary film projects. She has used her reportage
skills for print ads and as a still photographer for commercials
and feature films.
Traveling extensively in the U.S. and Europe, Barbara has
captured a vast collection of superb photographic images. B&W
photography has so many options to embrace. From a 30x40 black & white
print that is hand tinted to the platinum/palladium process,
the most archival of all photographs. Working in b&w
demands greater skill and dramatizes the subjects. Photographs
isolate a moment and have the ability to evoke sentiment, a
sensibility of experience. Barbara's artwork reflects meticulous
attention to detail and preparation to insure archival quality. "The
still photograph is a freezing of a moment, catching an
expression in time, to be savored over and over again."
"Her vision is as classically austere as that of Alfred
Stieglitz. Yet, she carves out a distinct artistic identity
through her unique way of viewing the world." ARTSPEAK, NY, NY. 1996
