ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Provocative architectural scenes continue to command my attention and compel me to photograph their soothing abstract and geometric features.
Lately, however, I’ve begun to peer beyond the overt, inanimate characteristics of these graphic backdrops. In Beyond Reach, I imagine fleeting snippets of a story caught midstream while focusing on the diffused light, shadows, and diagonal lines that surround an apparitional figure crossing the overhead walkway in Lisboa's Rossio train station during rush hour.

AUTHOR
A graduate of Syracuse University, Judith Montminy spent more than a decade writing arts features for the Boston Sunday Globe. At the Globe, she began each new assignment by asking, “What’s the angle?” Now a fine art photographer, she continues to ask that same question, but her answer is far more literal. The “angle” is how she positions herself to capture a compelling cityscape’s geometric forms and snippets of stories caught midstream.

Her award-winning photographs have been accepted into international, national and regional exhibits, including Prix de la Photographie Paris, International Monochrome Awards, Griffin Museum of Photography’s Annual Juried Exhibition, Art Complex Museum’s Winter Juried Show, and “Best of Photography 2014” published by Photographer’s Forum Magazine. In 2017 Montminy was one of nine artists invited to exhibit in “Behind the Lens, Women in Photography” at Providence Center for Photographic Arts, recently renamed RI Center for Photographic Arts.

A juried Artist Member of NY-based National Association of Women Artists, MA-based Cambridge Art Association, South Shore Art Center and Plymouth Guild Russell Gallery, Montminy has studied photography at Harvard, Griffin Museum and South Shore Art Center. She lives in Duxbury MA where she serves on the local Cultural Council, Helen Bumpus Gallery Board of Directors, and Duxbury Camera Club Steering Committee.
