Photographer's Profile
Kelly William Wright
Kelly William Wright, United States
Kelly William Wright is an internationally recognized photographic artist and gallerist based in Tampa, Florida. With an exhibited art career spanning over 30 years, his recent return to the medium has been met with widespread critical acclaim, earning over 250 international awards for his latest bodies of work. Collected internationally over three decades, Wright’s artistic journey has traversed the modern evolutions of the photographic industry. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, his work was represented by select galleries across the Eastern United States, including the Florida based Nuance Galleries and the Lawrence Charles Galleries of New York, Miami, and Tampa. This period culminated in his 2009 solo exhibition, 21 Works From Beyond the Hill, a large-scale exploration of subjects ranging from classical nudes to urban abstraction. Following a nine-year immersion in the world of investment-grade vintage photography as a commercial gallerist, Wright returned to his creative practice in 2018 with a renewed intensity. This "second act" has resulted in a sophisticated synthesis of his historical expertise and a modern, award-winning vision, driving multiple ongoing projects that continue to push the boundaries of fine art photography.
