THE TASTING ROOM GALLERY

We Two exhibit heads to Colchester

Wethersfield photographer Jack McConnell shows a collection of B&W portraits this summer at the Priam Vineyard Gallery in Colchester. Each of twenty-five photos reveal the relationships of two people--friends, couples, siblings, parent-child. The We Two photos were taken on a small island in the Penobscot Bay in Maine, in small towns in Portugal, at a country fair in Lancaster, NH, and downtown streets of Hartford, CT.

Throughout his 35-year professional career, shooting annual reports and ad

campaigns for Fortune 500 companies, Jack McConnell photographed hundreds of CEO portraits and thousands of employees at work in industrial and office environments.

Meet the Photographer dates: June 5 and June 27

Because almost everyone who owns a camera, ends up shooting portraits

and candids of their families and friends, Jack will be available to talk about

techniques and styles at the Tasting Room patio on Saturday June 5 and

Sunday June 27 between 2-4pm. He will share tips for getting better photos,

demonstrate a few techniques, and have a conversation about his 35 years

traveling around the US and Europe as a corporate photographer.
