JAMES VENUTI
is a photographer and woodworker based in New York City
specializing in architectural and cityscape photography.
Taking advantage of his talent in wood working, he began
carving custom frames for his photographs, creating
one of a kind works of art.
The culmination of James' vision and hard work
comes to fruition in his series "Living Frames",
which is a collection of his most popular photographs
infused into aluminum and mounted onto an intricately
designed mixed media platform. The aluminum brings
sharper color, detail and durability to the scene while
the hardwood frames, hand-carved and painted by the
artist himself, expand on a specific mood expressed
in the photograph. Each piece brings a unique vision to
these captured moments and is one of a kind.
