Owensboro Community & Technical College is currently hosting a photography exhibition, titled “Candid.” The exhibition includes the work of six photographers with local ties, each showcasing their perspective on the world as seen through their unique lens.
The exhibition runs through August 3 and is located in the Dayman Art Gallery on the upper level of the Learning Resource Center, located on the Main Campus at 4800 New Hartford Road.
“Capturing candid moments holds immense value,” said Dr. Meredith Skaggs, OCTC’s Heritage, Humanities, and Fine Arts Department Chair. “The world we face today is often dominated by staged and curated content. Yet, these candid moments serve as precious reminders of what’s truly seen through the eyes of these talented creatives.”
Each photographer highlighted in the show is an OCTC alumnus; several have established their own photography and/or media services businesses.
Photographers include:
- Chelsea Howard Bickett, an Owensboro resident who now runs Chelsea Howard Photography.
- Kevin Brown, a headshot and portrait photographer based in Owensboro.
- Anna Lake Crasher, the Kentucky Wesleyan College director of campus ministry.
- Nick Eskridge, a deputy sheriff in Ohio County.
- Madi Richardson, who focuses on capturing “the simple details of life” for her clients.
- Kobe Shrewsberry, Production Associate for Crossings Camps.
OCTC offers an Associate in Fine Arts degree and includes digital photography programming. Those interested in coursework may contact [email protected]. Classes for the the fall semester begin August 14, 2023.
