Philip Ulanowsky
Artist’s Bio
Philip Ulanowsky enjoyed more than three decades as a professional photographer, in New York City and then in Loudoun County. His wide-ranging work encompassed photojournalism, editorial and advertising illustration, commercial still life, ballet, architectural interiors, and portraiture.
Since 2017, he has been pursuing personal projects in the medium that first ignited his passion in high school: black-and-white film photography and crafting his own silver-gelatin prints directly from the film negative in the traditional darkroom. He works in several film formats, from 35mm to 4x5 inches.
Recent work has included two year-long portrait projects, “Meet Loudoun’s Century Farmers” and “Artists & Artisans—15 Portraits.”
Philip prefers the discipline of film to the allure of digital’s virtually unlimited exposures, instant results, and endless post-processing options. Film obliges the artist to work within tighter limits, encouraging him or her to slow down and think about each image. For Ulanowsky, the challenges of engagement with the slower, physical medium, and of “seeing in black-and-white” are more rewarding.
Philip, who looks forward to teaching photography soon, is also an amateur pianist, a member of Artists in Middleburg, and a co-editor of Leonore, a quarterly magazine of art, science, and statecraft.
He will be attending the August 7th First Friday and will be demonstrating the use of some of his equipment. Eleven Eleven Brewing Company will be there as well giving complimentary tastings from 5-9PM.
