If you look at the schedule for the Atlanta Celebrates Photography events, you’ll catch a familiar name on the artist exhibition list. This Friday, Oct. 12, SCAD photography Professor Forest McMullin will have a solo show at Thomas Dean Fine Art from 6-8 p.m.
Mcmullen’s work is also part of the permanent collections at The Buffalo Museum of Science, International Museum of Photography and American Society of Media Photographers. He received his B.F.A. from Rochester Institute of Technology and an M.F.A., State University of New York.
McMullin is a well-recognized artist in the field of photography outside of the educational system. He has been published in Time, Forbes Magazine, Bloomberg Businessweek, People Magazine, National Audubon Society, The New York Times and USA Today. Some of his commercial clients include Exxon Mobile, General Motors and HSBC Bank.
His ACP exhibition, “Late Harvest: On Back Roads in the Deep South,” is a collection of photographs taken during the time of Donald Trump’s election in 2016. McMullin, who considers himself “a northerner,” traveled to different parts of the deep south attempting to understand the results of this past election. What came from this was a photographic account of local life in the rural south.
The opening reception is this Friday, Oct. 12 at Thomas Dean Fine Art, located at 690 Miami Circle NE #905. It will be available for viewing until Nov. 10. The artist’s talk will next Saturday, Oct. 20 from 2-3 p.m. For more information on this exhibition, click here.
