Richard Stanley

Richard Stanley holds a Master of Fine Art in photography degree from Rochester Institute of Technology. Noted landscape photographer, the late John Pfahl, sponsored his Master’s thesis, whose images were produced using homemade panoramic pinhole cameras and color film. Color contact prints from Stanley’s homemade pinhole cameras range up to ten inches wide by seven feet long. His work is in the collections of the International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House, the Chicago Art Institute, the Cincinnati Art Institute and many private collections. He lives in Los Angeles, where he continues to document the urbanscape through his windshield. Current work reveals a fascination with Google Images as a subject itself, the scanner as a photographic tool and the visual power of dolls, or “action figures” displayed in this book.
