A & I is pleased to have performed the direct printing for Monica Orozco’s body of work “De Colores – Portraits of L.A. Women.” This body of work is currently on view at the Arclight Hollywood on the 2nd level.
“De Colores – Portraits of L.A. Women” is an ongoing project that showcases the eye-popping portraits of the “wonder women” in deMonica’s hometown of Los Angeles. Beautiful, diverse, strong, and fearless; they inspire her endlessly. These are the angels (and demons) of the City of Angeles that she knows and loves. Reflecting the individual spirit of each project, each wonder woman is shot before a backdrop of her favorite hue. This deeply personal project is an homage to her hometown and an expression of appreciation for the beauty and strength of wonder women everywhere.
Orozco’s work has been published in numerous magazines and online publications including Anthem, Spin, TimeOut London, Interview, Swindle, Whitehot, Westside, JPG, ARTINFO, ForYourArt, among others. Her work has also been in Berlin, London, New York, San Francisco and in Los Angeles. For more information on Monica Orozco’s work please visit her site at: www.demonicaphoto.com. It’s a luscious world.live it, love it, see it

You can only order one at a time, but you can use the promo code over and over again between now and April. (So take advantage!) Use code 6X9SPECIAL42010 upon online checkout.

Small type: Good for 6×9 portrait standard hard cover books only. Must use voucher code upon online checkout to redeem. For custom orders (not ordered through Book Creator) please contact us. Not valid with any other offers. Expires April 30th, 2010.

Thursday, April 15, 7pm-10pm at A&I distinguished photographer Robert Buelteman will be giving a lecture titled “The Evolutionary Image” on his technique of “cameraless photography.” At the reception following Buelteman’s talk he will be signing copies of his new book Signs of Life, released by A&I Books.
