On October 26 at 7:30 PM, professional photographer Joe Pizzuto will present “Word on the Street…” in a Zoom session to the Berks Photographic Society (BPS). Joe will discuss street photography as an explorative process & personal vision, based on his work & that of other artists. He will address the definition of street photography, its place in history, his philosophy, along with the technical aspects of his image making.

 

Joe was born in Reading, PA in 1952 & currently lives in Decatur, GA. Joe first engaged his passion for photography while attending the University of Pittsburgh. Throughout the years, he has worked in photography retail, operated a professional portrait studio and held a position as industrial photographer. He is self taught but studied with Larry Fink and Chip Simone.

Additionally, he has been part of numerous collective shows including museum shows at The Reading Museum of Art, The Toledo Museum of Art, The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCAGA) and the Musee Francais De La Photographie in Bievres, France.

Collins Colorado, The Photography Place in Exton, Pennsylvania, The Mind’s Eye Gallery in Philadelphia, The Southeast Center of Photography in Greenville, SC, The RoHo Gallery in Cincinnati Ohio and numerous inclusions both juried and curated at the Atlanta Photography Gallery to list a few.
