NHSPA Member Spotlight: Alicia Bergeron

4 Dec 2022 7:02 AM | Maundy Mitchell (Administrator)

This month’s member spotlight features Alicia Bergeron, of Newbury, NH.  She has been a member of New Hampshire Society of Photographic Artists for one year.

What drives you?

"When I was a little girl, I would spend hours peering into the green grass watching tiny beetles, grasshoppers, and crickets crawl. I discovered photography my senior year in high school and as if under a spell, my interests shifted from biology to photography. Today I find myself still drawn to the small details found in nature—except this time with a camera and an incredible love of light. I could easily spend an hour (or three) among the quiet ferns and buzzing bees, waiting for that magic light to unfurl."

What is your favorite medium, and why?

"I am drawn to the transformative power of Light. 

 My favorite light is from an afternoon glow; seen at just the right angle it magically illuminates subjects from within and casts the most lively shadows. I love to photograph with a macro lens to celebrate these tiny botanical treasures and share them as gifts. Many of my subjects are in the midst of a seasonal transformation—there is so much energy and life at the edge of this shift."

What are you working on now?

"I am currently printing work for The W. Dale and JoAnn Franke Overfield ’69 Art + Design Faculty Exhibition at Colby-Sawyer College. I have been an adjunct faculty member for three years now and this will be my first time exhibiting with colleagues and friends. I am including some of my newer work that explores creative camera movement and the impression of light."

What would you like to learn or do next?

Presently, I am establishing a new darkroom to explore alternative 19th century photo processes such as cyanotype and platinum/palladium printing. I am attracted to the more tactile photographic processes and wonder how they may transform my way of seeing and creating.
