Held Light: Wendi Schneider at A Gallery For Fine Photography, New Orleans

Held Light, a new exhibition of fine art photography by Wendi Schneider, is on view at A Gallery For Fine Photography through August 1, 2026.

This New Orleans photography exhibition features hand-gilded photographs created in Venice and Florence. Printed with pigment ink on Japanese kozo and finished with hand-applied precious metals, these works are known for their luminous surfaces, shifting in tone and atmosphere as light moves across them.

Rooted in the atmospheric traditions of early twentieth-century photography, Held Light emphasizes mood, tonal restraint, and the interplay of light and surface. Rather than documenting place, the images offer contemplative impressions shaped by stillness, perception, and the quiet persistence of light.

Each photograph is realized as a unique variant, with subtle differences in materials and gilding, making every piece a singular object. Works are presented in antique frames, extending the dialogue between image, material, and time.

Virtual Exhibition: Wendi Schneider | Fine Art Photography at Arnika Dawkins Gallery

Arnika Dawkins Gallery presents a virtual exhibition of work by Wendi Schneider, bringing together a selection of hand-gilded photographs that explore light, atmosphere, and presence through luminous, materially responsive surfaces.

Included are The Visitor, a quiet, radiant Snowy Owl printed on kozo over white gold leaf; Moonglow), where tone and metal evoke a subtle nocturnal glow; and Along the Fence from The Weight of Light, in which white gold emerges gently through shadow. Selections from States of Grace extend this language into the botanical realm.

Printed on Japanese kozo or vellum and finished with hand-applied precious metals, each work is realized as a unique variant. Surface, tone, and reflectivity shift in response to changing light, allowing the image to settle and re-emerge over time.

Presented online, the exhibition offers an intimate encounter with works that are not only seen, but experienced through light itself.

Wendi Schneider - Flamingo

The Maine Museum of Photographic Art

April 5 – May 25
Opening Reception: Friday, April 12, 5-8 PM
Collectors Talks: Friday, April 19 + Friday, May 17, 5-8PM

“Personal art collections are always a form of self portraiture and our new exhibition is no exception. It’s prodigious; about wonder, wit, moments, connections to individual artists, and they all have a dreamy and whimsical perspective. The romanticism of the collector shines through. The images also speak about the process of making art and the breadth or modes of expression in contemporary photography. The viewer will notice that there is an optimism throughout the compilation that makes spending time with these photographs delightful. It speaks to Tognarelli’s heart and eye.” — Denise Froehlich, Director of MMPA
