A lover of travel and storybooks from a young age, Gail Goers took her first
photography class in her late twenties and fell into immediate and irreparable
love with the medium. She has spent the past six years photographing with a Speed Graphlex 4x5 view camera that allows her to pause — both mentally and physically — and focus on the world as it metamorphoses through the camera’s lens. She uses the camera as an instrument for exploration; shadows and color are her map and compass. Her book, MUSE, a compilation of large format color landscape photographs, will be released in the Fall of 2014 on Daniel 13 Press. She is currently in her first year of graduate studies in the MFA in Imaging Arts program at Rochester Institute of Technology.
