gaLLery “I am a life photographer who at times is the visual messenger.” When Soulé first found Bozeman in 2004, she was on a road trip from Seattle and just stopped for a few hours. Standing on Main Street, she watched people greeting each other on the street. The community feeling and artistic energy inspired her, and she knew she’d found home. 34 december 16, 2011 explorebigsky.com Soulé’s current show, which is hanging in the Nova Café in Bozeman this December, exemplifies the two sides of her work. One room holds a visual storyboard with 11 mostly black and white images showing her powerful year of transition and growth. The other is a collection of family portraits. The first series shows deep emotion—innocence, vulnerability, wrenching sadness, angst, freedom, peace and strength. The images include Soulé and her daughter, and other acquaintances who wanted to be a part of the project. Admitting it sounds “a little bit out there,” she says the participants “showed up when they were supposed to,” each with something to say. “They came to me to try and photograph that—to give them a voice. They were the chosen people.” The second set of photos is a color collection that captures kids and families together, happy. They’re not manicured family portraits, but are sweet, earthy, and with a sense of purity. “I like capturing a child how they are. I follow them around, sometimes run after them. I make up crazy jokes to get them to laugh or smile, put something on top of my head so they’ll look at the camera.” This show was cathartic, Soulé says. “The photography is the art of healing for me. For this show, I’m hoping it is for others.” She thinks of it as a gift for others, explorebigsky.com Big Sky Weekly and none of the photos are for sale. After a year that was clearly very difficult, Soulé is confident in life, and loves being a mother and an artist. “Being a single mom is empowering. It’s kicked my ass, and it’s made me do this [show]. Because everything I do is for that little girl. She’s my inspiration, my light.” Looking around the room at her work, Soulé seems comfortable with herself. “This is me. This is my heart and soul.” lucaphotography.net lucaphotography@yahoo.com Rebecca Soule's work is hanging in the Nova Café in Bozeman for the month of Decemnber
