Photographs by six Edmonds Community College alumni are featured through May 2 in the college’s art gallery.
Katelyn Campen, Emily Getts, Felix Hidajat, Jordan Ingmire, Brian Oh and Matt Verzola have a group exhibit titled “Looking Back.”
The gallery is located on the third floor of Lynnwood Hall, 20000 68th Ave. W., Lynnwood. A reception with the artists is 4 to 6 p.m. April 18 at the gallery.
The college’s photo department fosters a sense of purposeful aesthetics in each student’s visual narrative, which has further propelled their artistic passion into a career, said gallery staff. The exhibit provides viewers an opportunity to examine what has transpired in the artists’ lives since leaving the college.
Compen, a former contractor for Google, has built a freelance career with an emphasis in weddings and portraiture.
Getts graduated from Western Washington University’s photography program. She is a freelance photographer based in Seattle.
Hidajat, a fashion and editorial photographer based in Seattle, is a student in the photography program at Seattle University.
