Craig Alan Huber
Announcing the upcoming Fine Press Edition on the work of photographic icon Paul Caponigro (Published by Veritas Editions, LLC, Woodinville, WA). “There are some people that emit power – their energy and life force pour out like the rays of the sun. Paul is one of those rare people! Paul Caponigro is regarded as one of the foremost photographers of our time. His works blend his deep spiritual sensibility with a mastery of his darkroom technique. He and his art are inseparable. As he looks deeper into himself while defining his own vision he also looks deeper into his subjects to produce his transformational imagery, that are highly charged with emotion and mystery.” —Janet Russek and David Scheinbaum, Santa Fe

He has willed himself to be faithful to his vision and to humanity … His body of work is monumental in its revelation of ancient spirits embodied in stone … and his reverence for light and its visual effect on all the substances of our world achieve a spiritual quality similar to the ancient stones, and flowers, and human forms he photographs.”
