We are so proud to invite you to our latest effort to "get out there" and present some of our work at the latest exhibit opening this coming Friday, Nov 4th from 6-10pm: "Take Me to the River" taking place at the Grand Kakalin in Kaukauna, WI. Although this exhibit is just a small sampling of what we actually all do in our photographic efforts, it is the "heart and soul" representation of our work.
We want you to know each of our images is the result of many patient hours spent in the field observing wildlife or at events, or sometimes exploration, learning, feeling, and seeing "new" things whether we are right in our own backyard or traveling. It is an exciting time in photography, and we fully embrace the power of being able to adjust the digital raw camera data into works of art with the detail, authenticity, and direct connection to the subject matter of choice, that comes with photography. It is very important to us that our art is indeed photographic because, it means it is in fact real events that we experienced in real places, with real people, or have discovered in the natural beauty of this multidimensional, multi-seasoned state. We do our best to capture our photographs in traditional single exposures. In every case, we strive to make our art honest to the original scene, with modest contrast and saturation adjustments for aesthetic considerations. We hope some of our images will inspire you to get outdoors and explore and to reconnect with nature!
We are asked on a regular basis, even by relatives "Just what is it that you do?" So we came up with a short biographical statement for what we have done and accomplished:
Wisconsin Photographers Roy and Carol Toepke are a husband wife team that travel the state in pursuit of fine art and photo-journalistic images. Their images have been published in two separate Capture Door County Books, one Capture Wisconsin Book; Edible Door, Journey Through Wisconsin and Our Wisconsin Magazines, as well as many Visitor Bureaus Guides throughout the state. Their work has been displayed at the MOWA, the Trout Museum, Share, Plymouth Arts, Art Garage and the Hardy Gallery as well as presenting at many juried, invitational and solo exhibits. They have presented at multiple Gallery Walks and Art Markets. They also provide images by private gallery to clients via their website to individual galleries such as Gallery and Frame of FDL, Avenue Art of Appleton and to Decorator firms throughout the state and beyond.
