Cecilia Pollak
L + C = B
Light plus Composition equals Beauty.
Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New Jersey. I took a different road in life than most. After University, I moved to the Middle East for almost a year, then returned to my roots in New Jersey. I left New Jersey in my late 20s for San Francisco, and it was there that my passion for photography matured. When light and composition meet in a certain magical way, i can't help but photographically memorialize that moment in time. Whether it's venetian blinds in late afternoon light or frolicking polar bears in the wild, light dictates photographic action.
I've traveled in America, Canada, Europe, Middle East and Northern Africa, but my trips to see the polar bears were the ultimate experience. I was able to see them both in their winter habitat, waiting for the Hudson Bay to freeze, and even further into the Arctic to see the bears in their summer habitat, swimming and hunting.
The recipient of many awards, medals and competitions, exhibitions in California, New Jersey and Chincoteague Wildlife Refuge and current cover photos locally, I always focus on beauty.

Native of a small Kansas town, Tyler relocated to the east coast to pursue a graduate degree. She’s been here ever since, staying mostly for the beaches. When she’s not teaching high school math, she considers herself a “student of life”—constantly exploring, learning, and trying to perfect her craft. Her goal is to create art that evokes soothing and
meditative feelings, often using techniques such as long exposure and ICM in order to achieve the end result of her photography appearing as paintings.
