Joyce Seymore

Photographer Joyce Seymore has explored the world through her camera lens for over 50 years. Her passion for photography began at the University of Florida, where she majored in art history and studied with master photographer Jerry Uelsmann, who inspired her love of darkroom printing. Seymore has created a decades-long series on ferns, whose subtle variations continue to intrigue her. She has continued her botanical photography while also exploring urban landscapes. In 2011, she was invited as a Visiting Artist to the American Academy in Rome, where she spent seven weeks documenting the graffiti and tattered posters on the city’s ancient walls. Forty of these photos were included in her open studio at the Academy and later at the National Arts Club in New York. More recently, she has traveled many times to India to explore the vibrant surfaces of its cities.
