Another View, Personal Work From A Portrait Photographer
Black and White and Color photographs by Murray Rockowitz, Petaluma Portrait Photographer.
This is the first exhibit of strictly personal photography Murray Rockowitz has presented in many years. It is a departure from the fine art portraiture most people associate with Rockowitz, having been made out and about as he travels through life. From museums and galleries to the streets of San Francisco and Boston to an Amtrak Train Trip along the California Coast.
If you thought you knew his work, go have a look and then, think again.

“I see, react, engage, compose, and make an exposure, be it on film or pixels. As I carefully compose on the ground glass or make an exposure without looking through the viewfinder or screen, I do so by feel, I work intuitively. Then after the fact, I see what happened; sometimes intrinsic meaning actually appears other times it is simply a good picture”.
Working as a professional portraitist, Petaluma’s Murray Rockowitz has been serving clients throughout the Bay Area and beyond for 25 years. His works reside in personal and corporate collections throughout the world. He has been making photographs with serious intent and passion since 1977.
