Photographer Bill Sanders returns to the North Suburban YMCA’s
Community Gallery with a new show exhibited during the month of July called “Faces,
Places & Composites.” Mr. Sanders
first displayed his portraits and composites in February as part of The
Northbrook Community Relations Commission’s Black History Month
celebration. The public is invited to a
reception in his honor at the Y on Wednesday, July 2nd from
6:00-8:00 p.m.
Currently a freelance photographer,
Bill Sanders’s focus is on portrait photography both in and out of the studio.
In addition to portraits, he creates composites by combining several photos onto
a single image. Some of these composites are realistic and
some are surreal in nature. In this exhibit he also includes photos of landscapes
and scenery from around the Chicago area.
“My photo journey started when I
purchased a used 35 mm camera while in the Air Force over 40 years ago. I have
moved on from film photography to digital photography,” commented Sanders. “The
invention of photography opened up opportunities for many more individuals to
do what only people with painting talents could do before.”
