Yaquina Art Gallery Spotlight features photographers Kim Cuc Tran and Ted Crego, July 22 – Aug 4, 2023
Local photographers Kim Cuc Tran and Ted Crego will share a two week spotlight show at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery, opening this Saturday, July 22.
Both artists have extensive experience capturing the moment that lingers in the mind with their cameras. They are also married to each other with past careers in engineering. Together they have widely travelled in Asia, Europe, and both Americas. Expect to see images familiar as our Oregon coast as well.
Their styles and choice of photos are very much separated. While she and her husband often take photos of the same locations she says it is rare they shoot the same image.
Kim’s mantra is, “Simplify, simplify, simplify.” This mantra has served her well in the process of capturing and creating inspiring images. She enjoys shooting abstracts, close-ups, birds and flowers which results in creative art photos to share with viewers.
Ted says he enjoys finding images that others may overlook, such as patterns and macro shots. His recent work included panoramas and High Dynamic Range (HDR) photos. He believes there is always something new to learn in photography. This is essentially true with the myriad of software programs available for post processing.
Both Crego and Tran’s work have been recognized and critically praised in competitions.
Both artists live full-time in Newport and are active with the Yaquina Art Association Photographers (yaaphotographers.org) whose mission is to develop and encourage others.
