Fine art photographer and founder of A Gallery for Fine Art Photography, Joshua Mann Pailet will discuss the practice of collecting aerial photography, with an added focus on photographers from 1850 to the present who have sought ways to document the landscape from airplanes and experimental flying vessels. Afterward, photographer Ben Depp will lead a discussion in the exhibition and share insights into the work on display.

About Joshua Mann Pailet

New Orleans–born Joshua Mann Pailet is a fine art photographer and the owner/director of A Gallery for Fine Photography, which he founded in 1973. After graduating from Rice University, Pailet returned to New Orleans and founded his gallery, which became a French Quarter institution that continues to attract collectors as well tourists for its exhibitions and photographic inventory.

Pailet has created more than 10,000 photographs and published more than 100 of these images in the book World’s Fair, New Orleans (1987). An exhibition of these photographs was featured at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the World’s Fair. When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in 2005, Pailet remained in the French Quarter and documented its initial impact and aftermath in the weeks that followed. His photographs are included in museum collections, including the New Orleans Museum of Art; the Ogden Museum of Southern Art; the Louisiana Arts and Science Museum in Baton Rouge; the Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland, Florida; the Menil Foundation in Houston; and the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris.

“What would such an inexperienced soul do without the solution that a body had been”
-Clarice Lispector

Snapshots of the life within.
Echoes of thought and feelings expressed in the only terms I really understand which are those of light and shadow and the softening of edges.
The things expressed have already happened. Here they are remembered tenderly, in the repose of passion. – Josephine Sacabo
