R. Wayne Wrights
A graduate of West Rowan High School and Rowan Technical College, North Carolina native R. Wayne Wrights calls the Salisbury area home. Wayne has been a life long student in the art of photography. He has educated himself through various workshops such as the Ansel Adams Workshop in Yosemite, CA. He has also taken workshops under leading photographers as John Sexton, Cole Weston, Philip Hyde, Christopher Burkett, Stu Levy, Dean Collins, and Leonard LaRue III. Wayne’s award winning photographs are in private collections throughout corporations, museums, and galleries as well as many homes and small businesses across North and South Carolina. The New England States have always held a special attraction to Wayne and are often reflected in his work from various trips he has made to that area. The majority of Wayne’s photographs reflect landscapes, architectural designs and often images that reflect a history passing during his lifetime.
Though Wayne has studied various forms of color photography his passion is found in his black and white images. Wayne produces his own artist imagery from high quality negatives in his darkroom from a Large Format Camera that produces a 5 X 7 or 4 X 5 negative or a Medium Format Camera producing a 2 _ x 2 _ negative. Wayne produces his images on double weight, exhibition quality, silver/gelatin emulsion photographic papers. He then archival processes the images to extend the life of the print by using a dry mount process on 100% rag, 4-ply white museum quality board including a matching bevel-cut window mat. He maintains and produces the highest quality photograph throughout the entire photographic process.
