Press Release follows…

The third annual LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph is set for June 11, 12, and 13 in beautiful Charlottesville, Virginia! Join us for 3 days of peace, love, and photography as we transform historic downtown Charlottesville into a “living image” and celebrate the careers of three legendary photographers: Martin Parr, Gilles Peress, and Sylvia Plachy.

These three renowned photographers will each create a solo gallery exhibit and appear on-stage individually at the Paramount Theater to discuss their lifetime of work and show images from their careers. Please visit www.look3.org for more details on these artists and the LOOK3 programs.

Returning in 2009 are the LOOK3 Workshops and Project Critique Sessions. Photographers of all skill levels will find invaluable instruction and experience by enrolling in classes taught by master photographers David Alan Harvey, James Nachtwey, Eugene Richards, and Larry Fink. In addition, Maggie Steber and Scott Thode will lead the Project Critique Sessions to help students edit and develop working photography projects.

Other highlights include the “Masters Talks” series with presentations by Simon Bruty, Yolanda Cuomo, Eugene Richards, Callie Shell, George Steinmetz, and Phillip Toledano. Masters Talks tickets are $15. Paolo Pellegrin will mount a special outdoor show created just for LOOK3, and nature photographer Tom Mangelsen’s majestic images will hang from the trees along the downtown pedestrian mall. The Paramount is proud to sponsor: Out Of Nebraska: An Evening with Wildlife Photographer Tom Mangelsen on Wednesday, June 10th at 7 pm at the Paramount. Tickets are $10
