ABOUT JEAN MIELE
An internationally recognized photographer and
educator, Mr. Jean Miele is an outspoken advocate of the “digital
darkroom.” His highly enhanced black-and-white landscape photographs
represent the fusion of classical 20th century landscape photography
with 21st century technology, and challenge viewers’ assumptions
about the relationship between photography and reality. Miele’s
photographs are in numerous private collections and have been
exhibited widely, including a solo exhibition at the Fernbank Museum
in Atlanta, Georgia entitled “Classical Landscape
Photography and the Digital Darkroom” - which was seen by more
than 100,000 viewers from September 2001 thru September 2002.
In addition to his fine art photography, Miele teaches Photoshop
technique workshops and presents “digital darkroom” seminars for,
among others, ADOBE SYSTEMS, Apple Computer; the
International Center for Photography (ICP) in New York City,
where he is a member of the faculty; New York's Fashion Institute
of Technology (FIT), where he is a member of the faculty;
Fuji USA; American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP);
Advertising Photographers of America (APA). Miele has
appeared as a guest lecturer on photography at the School of
Visual Arts (SVA), New York University (NYU), and the
Columbia University School of Journalism.
Concurrent with his fine art work and teaching commitments, Miele
has been working in commercial photography since 1986, and operates
an independent studio providing photography for annual reports,
corporate communications, advertising, and magazines. His
photographs have appeared in thousands of publications worldwide,
and his commercial stock photography is represented by Corbis.
Miele travels often for business and his own pleasure, and is
continually adding images to a number of ongoing bodies of work.
For the last several years he has been focusing on a
new series of black-and-white images entitled "Vestiges of Industry"
which celebrates the vanishing beauty of pre-computer age machines
and technology. He
lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife, Carol, and stepdaughter,
Cally.
