Overview

Imagine showcases Sean Palfrey's artistic vision in a stunning collection of images and ideas created from his photographic archive, exploring color, abstraction, and the power of the imagination. Think of the images our minds create from the simplest combinations of line and form, and of the stories and scenes they evoke. Imagine, the third volume in Sean Palfrey's photography book series, is filled with the mysterious, the beautiful, and the abstract: a suite of pictures of expressive shapes, strong patterns, and ideas in color. Palfrey is a renowned pediatrician and child health advocate who travels the world with his work and for pleasure. His fascination with people, places, and stories informs both his artistic and his professional practice. In Imaginings, Palfrey has created a wide diversity of images, both figurative and abstract, but all of them starting from a photograph of the real in nature - an object, a texture, a landscape. Whether it's a single, framed shot of a patch of sand, or a composition of multiple exposures taken to make the familiar new, Palfrey's images and musings on them stimulate our imaginations into taking flight.
