Lover of Light: Bobbi Lane

Great article on Bobbi Lane, from the Powell Tribune, by Ilene Olson:

Bobbi Lane describes herself as a “lover of light.” Her use of light is the essence of her distinguished photography career.

“It’s what you sculpt with, how you set the mood, give the description to your subject,” she said during an interview at Northwest College earlier this month. “When I see certain kinds of light, when it all comes together, I go into another place. I suppose you would call it ‘the zone.’ It gets me very excited.”

When Lane started her photography career, she focused her cameras and aimed light on things: fashions, McDonald’s toys, items in a history museum — even the space station proposal for McDonald Douglas.

She’s photographed space shuttle landings and historic moments and things. Her photography has opened doors for her all around the country, and around the world.

“I’m a junkie for new experiences,” she said. “One of the reasons why I’m a photographer is, it’s always different. It’s never the same. I get to go places, and meet people, see stuff I wouldn’t ever get to do any other way ... Photography is my way to experience the world.”
