Motto:
There is a crack, a crack in everything.
That’s how the light gets in.
(Leonard Cohen, Anthem)
A collection of B&W photographs that explores the power of the sun light and its interaction with our daily living. The photographs will take the viewer through the same apartment at different times of the day, from waking to night. The images let you discover new interesting details of the living spaces that may be otherwise forgotten.
Tony Settari, born and trained in the Czech Republic, developed an early passion for art and music alongside a career in engineering. After moving to Calgary in 1969, he was inspired by an Ansel Adams retrospective, which ignited his interest in large-format photography. While his professional career in academia and consulting limited his artistic pursuits for some time, retirement allowed him to fully return to photography. Today, his work blends traditional analog techniques with digital processes, focusing primarily on black-and-white imagery that emphasizes simplicity and minimal reliance on technology.
