Bangor Metro interviews photographer ahead of UMMA exhibit opening
Bangor Metro published a Q&A with Caleb Charland, a world-renowned photographer from Hampden, Maine. Charland now lives and works in Brewer, the article states, and his next show, “Shadows of Earth,” opens Jan. 12 at the University of Maine Museum of Art in Bangor. Charland uses the basic elements of science and everyday visual phenomena to create vivid photographs of simple things like plants, light bulbs, toys, glass and metal, according to the article. “Photography is scientific, in a way,” Charland said. “But you’re capturing and recording things, not actually constructing something by hand, like you would if you were painting. I wanted to do that with photography.”
