The Art Box - Episode 453 - The White Horse in the Frame – Photographer Will Enos

This was such a delightful conversation with photographer Will Enos, whom I met recently at the Brewery Arts Center in Carson City. Will and his wife, Beth (also a fabulous photographer and a soon to be Art Box guest), were attending our mutual friend Candace Garlock's remarkable Road to Terminus exhibition, and I'm grateful our paths crossed. For more than forty years, Will has chased light, shadow, and the perfect image. In this thoughtful episode of The Art Box, he shares his journey from discovering black-and-white photography in high school to a successful career in advertising and marketing photography, including two decades with Eastman Kodak, and ultimately to his current passion for creating powerful fine art photographs. Will talks about his love of wandering off the beaten path in search of images that speak to the soul, often returning from days of exploration with only a single photograph and considering that a successful adventure. Together, we explore the emotional power of black-and-white photography, the interplay of light and shadow, the importance of artistic community, and the lessons learned from a lifetime of creative work. Along the way, Will introduces us to the fascinating concept of the "white horse" that unexpected element within a scene that transforms an ordinary photograph into something memorable. His insights on observation, patience, craftsmanship, and curiosity offer inspiration not only to photographers, but to anyone seeking to see the world more deeply. Join us for a conversation about looking beyond the obvious, embracing creative growth, and discovering that sometimes the most meaningful images are found during a quiet walkabout before the sun rises over the horizon.
