Ira Serkes
"Shapes & Textures"

Showing August 3 - 25, 2023

​

Ira Serkes has brought his stunning photographs of distant places to Art & Lit once again. It is always a pleasure to see the lines of the world from his unique perspective.

​

About Ira:

The Kodak Brownie Box Camera was great for the 1964 New York World’s Fair, but it wasn’t till Ira started shooting Tri-X black and white film in a 35 mm rangefinder camera that he fell in love with photography.

​

Many years, photos, and cameras later, he’s returned to black and white digital photography.

This Art & Lit photo portfolio features architecture and was made possible using dodging, burning, and the use of red and yellow filters learned in analog film days.

​

Many of these pictures are actually composites of 7 different photos, taken at different exposures and merged using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, a technique he learned from the amazing Berkeley photographer Harold Davis.

​

Ira’s Publications Include:

Black & White Magazine

Power Of One

Berkeley Neon

Nolo Press’ “How to Buy A House In California” now in it’s 18th Edition

Polymerization Patents for Chevron Research 1974-1984

Ira’s been featured in Berkeleyside, Nextdoor, Inman News, San Francisco Chronicle, NY Times, KCBS, KRON, and KTVU.
