Binghamton Photo (1st floor gallery – adjacent to the Bundy Museum): Au Naturel. Brian Taborne. From Taborne: 'Au Naturel focuses on natural things in natural environments. I've noticed over my time of taking photos that I enjoy presenting the world as it is and not manipulating anything in camera or after the photo is taken. Natural and practical lighting is something I strive for, as it's how we all see the world on a daily basis. The world isn't seen in studio lighting. One principle I've tried to stick to on my photography journey is taking photos of light first and objects second. I am a firm believer that any environment or object, no matter how objectively 'ugly' it is, can look beautiful with the right lighting and composition. Strong sunlight hitting some healthy, green foliage in the summertime is a personal favorite lighting condition of mine.' (6pm-9pm). The Discovery Center of the Southern Tier: Sticking Together: Making Art as One. Discovery Center Kids Club.

Bring your little artists and make lasting memories as you all contribute to this interactive and inclusive event! (4pm-7pm). The Cooperative Gallery: BEAUTIFUL MISTAKE. Natalie Dadamio. From Dadamio: 'As an abstract artist, my work is rooted in process, channeling a raw, primal energy through gestural mark-making, instinctive movement, and layered moments—allowing something larger than myself to take over, guiding the creation with an untamed, expressive force.' (5pm-9pm). Just Breathe, Ex-hale Gallery: The Hunny Suite. Brandy Brown. Exhibit will feature surreal paintings, digital art and some fiber art/crochet work.

Bundy Museum Photo Gallery: Au Naturel
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A colleague of ours who regularly hauls cases of equipment out on commercial production shoots is showing off what can be done with a simple film camera. Brian Taborne, a creative services producer at News 34, is exhibiting a collection of photographs at the Bundy Museum's Binghamton Photo gallery called Au Naturel. He chose that name because he only uses natural lighting and never poses his subjects. Taborne started taking photos with a film camera 4 years ago and has recently started experimenting with digital. 'The film camera I got, I bought that on eBay for $50 four or five years ago or however, long that was. I don't take studio lighting or anything anywhere I go. Just go off to a location and see what you find,' Taborne said. Taborne says he enjoys taking photos when he's traveling to places like Chicago, New York City and Ocean City. His exhibit will be on display this month and next. There will be a First Friday Art Walk reception tonight from 6 to 9. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
