Community Unity Photography Display At Franklin Library

Press release from the Hennepin County Library:

August 7, 2020

Franklin Library is hosting an exhibit of photos by Ne-Dah-Ness this summer. The exhibit is displayed on banners on the library's exterior fence. You can also view all of the images online.

Ne-Dah-Ness is a BIPOC photographic artisan from Leech Lake who creates her work by highlighting the beauty and symmetry in people, places and things that the average eye does not see.

The camera, various lenses and selecting the right setting are all essential in producing her art.

Ne-Dah-Ness captures emotion in her subjects that prompts a visceral reaction in her viewers. They say she has “The Eye of the Tiger”, and that her eyes are a magical gift, because they can create emotion and understanding. She specializes in the photographic genres of portraits, wildlife and wetlands, black and white, silhouettes, and creative beauty images.

Photography is her art form because it is an extension of who she is. The camera is her heart beat and the lenses are her eyes. Ne-Dah-Ness, founder of award winning Greene Photography, says her photos make time stand still and give a lifetime of memories for people to cherish and hold close. The people that are captivated by her photos motivate her to continue creating and mastering her craft — to influence and change perspectives as well as lives.
