MPS Digital Photography presents a talk with New York-based fine art and architectural photographer Andrew Prokos, whose work incorporates architectural elements and sweeping natural and urban views. His large-scale compositions are often constructed from multiple high-definition images, which enables him to capture an exceptional level of detail and clarity in the large-scale prints that he produces for collectors and corporate clients worldwide.
A master of long-exposure photography technique, Prokos captures the flow of people, water, clouds, and other natural and man-made elements with exposure times of up to fifteen minutes. The extreme exposure times imbue his scenes with a suffused light and a transcendent, almost ethereal quality. His most recent series, including Inverted and Metropolis Abstracted, are boldly experimental in nature. Through these series, he explores various modes of abstraction and the use of negative imagery to test perceptual boundaries.
Prokos’s work has been widely published in both print and online—including Assouline Books, Casa Vogue, CNN Arabic, Correio Brasiliense, Corriere della Sera, DesignBoom, Dezeen, Digital Photographer, Harper’s Bazaar Art, L’Oeil de la Photographie, Medium Format Magazine, and Metropolis Magazine—and has received major honors from the Prix de la Photographie (Px3), the International Photography Awards, American Photography, Latin American Fotografia, Neutral Density, and others. His photography has been exhibited at leading institutions such as the Museum of the City of New York, 21_21 Design Sight in Tokyo, Banco do Brasil Culture Space, and the Palm Springs Art Museum’s Modernism Week, as well as in galleries and corporate collections throughout the United States, Europe, and the Middle East.
Prokos is a member of the New York chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers and accepts photography commissions for clients in property development, advertising, and industry. Previous commissions include projects for Vornado Realty Trust, Cisco Systems, Evraz North America, HBO, and the New York City Economic Development Corporation.
