On April 2, 2024, the Betty Strong Encounter Center’s Main Gallery opens an exhibit photos by award-winning photographer Tom Weisbrook. The exhibit runs until May 5.
Weisbrook’s main focus is creating colorful landscapes that reflect some of the most unique places in the United States. By capturing moments with magical light, his images reflect a combination of patience and dedication, with a determination to capture the images in the most captivating methods possible.
Photography has been a major part of Mr. Weisbrook’s life for the last 35 years. As a self-taught photographer, he has used books and videos as his instructor, but in-the-field is where he received the majority of his knowledge. Areas of specialty include Landscapes, Architecture and Night Photography. The majority of his images are from the South, which offers many diverse landscapes and remote places. With his recent retirement from the rigors of “going to the office” every day, more time is now available for travel and photography. He believes “The Southwest is loaded with history and beauty, with many features unlike other areas of the U.S.A. It is a photographer’s paradise; and he enjoys capturing and sharing its beauty.”
Over the years, he has developed an innovative style that blends realism with a little abstract expressionism to produce images that most everyone can relate to. The use of vibrant colors in his compositions makes his work an excellent choice for a variety of purposes and locations.
