Gregory Brophy
I graduated from Syracuse University in 1996 with a Degree in Fine Arts. I took my first photo class in London, 1995 and have been hooked ever since. While in London I even managed to get the teacher to give me an extra set of keys to the darkroom so I could work at night. Since then I have been working mostly in medium and large format film and alternative methods.
I live in and work in New York City but I like to travel. I have visited places like London, Athens, Florence, Rome and Bolonga. Recently, I lived and worked in Argentina for two years working on a few projects.
Here in New York I participated in the Vague Terrain: Manhattanville, a group show about Manhattanville and the changing of the community by Colombia University at The City College of New York.
My most recent show was a group exhibition that dealt with the economy, also shown at The City College of New York.
The MTA recently chose one of my photos: "Cold Fingers Reach Into The Night Air" along with four other people to represent artists from Washington Heights and Inwood. For two months they it will hang in the 181st street station.
My photo, "Highbridge Tower 3" was recently published in SHOTS Magazine Issue #108. An independent, reader-supported, quarterly journal of fine art photography in its 23rd year of publication.
Most of my work is centered around the night and the city. If it is raining or snowy, freezing cold or foggy, I am out there with my camera in hand. A common theme about the cold and emptiness of the city as well as my own personal feelings when I am out there.
