About

Bruce McKaig has been making photographs for over thirty years, living and traveling in Europe, North and South America, Siberia, and India. His art involves either meticulous processes that produce one-of-a-kind results, or digital works that can be reproduced in profusion. Working with chance elements of surprise, he explores techniques as diverse as pinhole photography, ambient light images, stereo photography, hand colored images and digital animations. He has been awarded private and public grants from the city of Paris and Washington DC and has participated in over thirty solo and two hundred group exhibitions since 1979. His photographs are in museum collections in the USA, France, and Guatemala. He regularly lectures and writes on photography and has been featured in The Washington Post, The Baltimore Sun, The Associated Press, La Liberation (France), Photodom (Taiwan), and other journals, magazines and books. He teaches at The Smithsonian Residents, The Corcoran College of Art
