Andrea and Rob honored in separate events

Andrea received her Grand Prix de la Decouverte Juror of Merit Award at a ceremony in Paris on November 6th. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. She also participated in Paris FotoFest, a three-day event where an international group of curators, gallerists, and publishers reviewed photographers’ portfolios from around the world. Rob and Andrea said “We truly have never seen so much talent and originality.”

Andrea took part in the Open Portfolio evening where she and her fellow FotoFest participants displayed their images to the Paris public.

Rob was honored this month when he became a nominee in the 8th Annual Black and White Spider Awards for the image Frank Gehry’s House in the category of architecture. This international competition drew over 9000 entries.

Andrea's City Reflections Project reviewed by David E. Wolf

Andrea’s City Reflections project was reviewed by David E. Wolf, a physicist and photographer from Boston, Massachusetts. What follows are excerpts from the review from his Hati and Skoll Gallery Blog:

“A few weeks ago I found in LensWork (magazine) the truly glorious and amazing work of photographer Andrea Stone. I was happy to find that these images could also be seen on “The Stone Photography” website, which Andrea shares with her husband Rob Stone.

Ms. Stone relates her transformative moment as being drawn to Claude Monet’s work “The Magpie,” and with that to the realization of what an image can be. She has made a study of cityscapes reflected in distorted patterns in window glasses. But such a description is really way too mechanical, because what she has created is in itself transformation. It bridges photography with impressionist art, creating magical pictures that could just as easily be paintings. When the building doing the reflecting is by architect Frank Gehry, the end result is simply amazing! Looking at her work is one of those great wow moments, when you just fall in love with photography all over again.”
