Photography by Victor Loverro

In August of 2006, Victor Loverro presented an exhibition of large-format black and white images honoring the local professional and volunteer firefighters of Camano Island and North Snohomish County. Entitiled "A Hot Summer Nite: A Salute to Our Local Firefighters," this new body of work is a departure from Victor's recent landscape studies. Each firefighter reveals his attraction to this necessary but dangerous profession through the choice of stance, equipment, and setting. In the absence of color, the black and white photographer focuses on the essence of his subject; the large format negative creates a crisp clarity that is not possible in other forms of photography.
