LightBox Photographic Gallery opens “Northern Plains Native Americans: A Modern Wet Plate Perspective” by Shane Balkowitsch on Saturday, June 10 with an opening artists reception from 4 — 7 p.m. LightBox is extremely honored to present this work. We have admired this work for years and now have the honor of exhibiting twenty fine reproductions of the original Collodion Wet Plates. The prints are beautiful custom carbon pigment prints crafted in the Netherlands by master printer Luc Brefeld.

“Northern Plains Native Americans: A Modern Wet Plate Perspective” is by far my most important work. My life’s work. My goal is to capture 1000 Native Americans over the 20 years. I have met so many fabulous people on this journey and I am forming bonds and friendships that will last me throughout my life. It is important for me to not only document their heritage but to give respect to a people that that have been mistreated in so many ways. I consider this an honor and I will do everything that I can to put my friends in the best possible light.
