To make his showcase at the Station House Gallery something personal and something that will mean something to the community, Casey Bennett is creating a portrait showcase made up of faces from the community who work in what he calls thank-less jobs.
He is calling it ‘Faces of Industry’ and it will be made up black and white portraits of men and women who work in industries such as mining, ranching, farming, and forestry who go unappreciated most of the time.
Bennett said the idea came about since he grew up around the different industries, and he wanted this project to be something really personal.
“It’s going to be a celebration or a look at men and women who work in mining, mils, ranching and farming and essentially keep the economy going,” said Bennett.
“I am sending out an invitation to community members who might want to be apart of my project.”
He is hoping to get things started by the end of the month, and would love to have shoots scheduled for October.
Bennett is no amateur, and has worked in the photography business for some time and a collection of his work can be seen on his blog at www,casey3photo.wordpress.com.
Anyone interested in being a part of Bennett’s ‘Faces of Industry” can email him to ask any questions or set up a time for a photo shoot at casey3photo@gmail.com.
