‘Colors of the World’ photography exhibit at SOBA

“Colors of the World,” an exhibit of photographic art by Savannah Kemper, will be featured from June 5 through July 2 at the Society of Bluffton Artists gallery in Old Town Bluffton.

An opening reception will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. June 7 at the gallery. These events are free and open to the public.

The exhibit captures the unique colors and textures from Kemper’s travels throughout the world. A self-described opportunistic photographer, Kemper said she does not seek out her subjects, but instead photographs scenes that stand out to her.

She credits her photography style to her family’s travels early in her life and their encouragement to see beauty in the world. Many of the photos from her exhibit reflect her unique take on nature scenes as well as interesting architecture in bustling cities.

“Since my father grew up on a ranch in Texas, he was very in tune with nature and I think he definitely instilled that love and appreciation for the outdoors in me,” Kemper said. “I grew up being taught how significant the world outside our homes was, and that’s why I find my work more often reflecting my travels rather than where I live because whenever I travel some- where I’m always trying to take in all the details.”

Kemper is in her final year at Clemson University, majoring in international business and Italian. A study abroad this spring will give her more opportunity for discovering treasured photos.

She has been exhibiting her photography at The SOBA gallery for three years and won first place in the photography category of SOBA’s 28th Annual Judged Show.
