About
Background:
Frank Tadley has studied photography in the workshop programs at the New England School of Photography (NESOP) 1993-6, the Cambridge Center For Adult Education and with photographer/teacher Keith Carter. He started photography later in life and was a student of Nick Johnson and Marky Kauffman at NESOP.
Current projects include his “meals-on-wheels” clients and a book of nudes for drawing students.
He also does private and museum installation work.
He works primarily in portraiture, nudes and abstracts.
His series, Edgerton Park, follows the “life” of a large community garden in New Haven, CT - from autumn through spring.
Another long term project has been a series of Polaroid transfers about the time he spent in Vietnam and, later, in the anti-war movement.
He worked for twenty six years in the field of computer recognition of the spoken word.
