Photography For The Soul
She got her first ever C in her photography course in high school, a far cry from the straight As she otherwise garnered. “I don’t know if I saw this as some sort of challenge but something stuck,” she says. And it really did stick indelibly as she is now an avid photographer who admits to working on five bodies of work simultaneously. Her photography reflects the intricate workings of a mind that accords significance and meaning to everything and sees beyond the superficial, surface layer that people normally can’t see past. In her own words, she delves into the who, what, when, where, and why of being, compounded by her interest in the sociological nature of people. This month, we are speaking to Lois Bielefeld, a native of Milwaukee in the Midwestern United States, who has carved a niche for herself as quite a maverick photographer. She is a member of the Portrait Society Gallery, a contemporary art gallery dedicated to the issues surrounding the genre of portraiture.
