NEW TECAC MEMBER, JEROME STURM


TECAC Gallery welcomes our new member, photographer Jerome Sturm.  Above is an example of Mr. Sturm's wonderful work, and you can see more at TECAC Gallery or on his website: http://www.jsturmphotography.com.

Jerome Sturm is a fine art photographer who uses High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography to capture abandoned landscapes.  His work uses vibrant colors and mimicry of historic photographic techniques to create images that reanimate abandoned places.

His work has been exhibited nationally and his photographs are part of several private collections.  Most recently the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art accepted his photograph, Evening Comes, for the New Waves 2013 exhibition.  The Kiernan Gallery, Nelson Gallery, and several other galleries have accepted his photography for exhibition.  His photographs have also been published in Creative Quarterly, a national magazine of the arts, on a consecutive basis.

Mr. Sturm is a graduate of Radford University where he earned a Master in Fine Arts degree in photography.  While attending, he was the recipient of the College of Visual & Performing Arts Scholarship, the McGlothlin Study Abroad Grant, and the MFA Creative Thesis/Exhibition.

Additionally he has worked as a portrait photographer, university photographer, and photojournalist, before his pursuit of fine art photography.  His photographs have won several national and state awards and have been published in People Magazine, US News & World Report, The New York Times, and other national publications.  He has also served three times as the mission photographer for Operation Smile International when the organization traveled to Ecuador.

He lives in Bedford, Virginia, with his wife and children and is a member of the Bedford Photography Club, in addition to The Electric Company Artists Co-op.  Mr. Sturm is also an adjunct faculty member at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College in Salisbury, North Carolina where he teaches photography.
