Sarah Hadley is born in Boston. Grew up in a magical palace, the Gardner Museum.
Wandered away from college in her twenties to Venice, Italy. Had the
happiest three months of her life and have been madly in love with that
city ever since. Something about the stillness and the dark alleys and
the water everywhere sparked her imagination. She begin to taking photos. Then she returned to the states and finished a
degree in Art History. Worked at the National Gallery and the Library
of Congress. Saw Robert Frank's retrospective and was blown away. Got a
degree in photography at the Corcoran College of Art. Shot on the
streets of DC and NY and Boston - black and white and gritty photos.
Worked for newspapers and magazines. Moved to Chicago. Went to Ragdale,
the artists and writers colony in Lake Forest, IL, and discovered the
prairie and later was asked to photograph the amazing Howard Van Doren
Shaw house for "The Ragdale House Speaks". Returned to Venice and
starting shooting "Lost in Venice". Moved to CA in 2009 and live 6
blocks from the Pacific ocean. Love to travel.
I was touched by those photos because they are talking about memories. How she traveled and how she felt about the city she lives. The photographs in her "lost Venice" series appear to render her memories into mysterious visual scenarios. Her work is introspective, borne of , it seems, personal pain and contemplation.
How do you photograph a memory? Photographer Sarah Hadley,
executive director and creator of the Filter Photo Festival in Chicago,
may have found just the answer. The photographs in her “Lost Venice”
series appear to render her memories into mysterious visual scenarios.
Her work is introspective, borne of, it seems, personal pain and
contemplation.
“This project is about loss, memory and the mystery of life,” Hadley explains. “I used the sights and symbols of the city of Venice, Italy, as a backdrop as I tried to distill my memories and feelings about my childhood and the loss of my father.”
Hadley continues, “Venice is a haunting, surreal and mysterious place, and one which has a storied past of loss and decay. I wanted my vision to be just that—my personal vision. Photography is a great way to express your emotions and I think the best work comes from deep inside.”
