Please join us in welcoming David Myers and Stacy Smith Evans to Multiple Exposures Gallery (MEG). David and Stacy each rose to the top after a rigorous selection process, and we could not be happier to add these two terrific fine art photographers to our gallery.
David comes to us with a wealth of experience as a fine art photographer. He has studied photography at the San Francisco Art Institute with Imogen Cunningham, among others, and in workshops with Ernesto Bazan, Jeff Jacobson, Raymond Meeks, Adriana Ault, Tim Carpenter, Gregory Halpern, Frederico Clavarino, and Brad Feuerhelm. He describes his primary subject matter as “the ordinary in the context of the landscape, rural life, and urban environments.”
David’s work often results from longer-term efforts where he returns many times to the same, similar or related locations. Sometimes, he says, he starts with an agenda or preconception of what he wants to photograph, while other times he starts with a clean slate. “In the end, the final product rarely aligns with what I imagined when I first go out; the work develops/evolves while engaging with a place or context in which I am operating.”
Images from David can be viewed in-person at MEG, along with his recently published art book, Almost Heroic. Almost Heroic and several other publications from David will also be available at the Capital Art Book Fair, April 6-7, at Eastern Market in Washington, DC. Look for the MEG banner to find our tables. You can also see two of David’s portfolios on the MEG website.

Stacy, a successful commercial photographer who creates joyful, timeless portraits, is bringing a different side of her photographic work with her to MEG. Stacy has a keen eye for and deep interest in landscape photography, and her images reflect her connection to nature and the land that has shaped her. “As seasons change, I revisit nearby rivers, mountains, and forests. The familiar features are comforting both in memories and in the present. I read the changing landscape, noting what once was and what might be in years ahead. I photograph the water’s ripples, the blue ridges, and tree-lined paths, new each time,” she says.
“I often photograph in the morning hours when softer tones and lingering fog lend a dream-like quality to my images reminiscent of memories. I hope my work evokes a sense of calm and appreciation for our natural and nearby world.”
Stacy’s images are now available for viewing in-person at MEG and on the MEG website. The gallery is open daily from 11am-5pm. You can find us at the Torpedo Factory Art Center, 105 North Union Street, Alexandria, VA.
