B.A. Van Sise is an American photographer. He has worked in travel photographer, and collections of his fine art photography has been exhibited in public installations by US museums.
Career
B.A. Van Sise is a graduate of Fordham University, with degrees in both Visual Arts and Modern Languages.[1] He has produced photo essays for publications including the Village Voice.[2][3] Van Sise is also a travel photographer,[4][5] through various publications and as a Nikon/AFAR travel photography ambassador.[6]
Solo exhibitions
In 2016 he assembled the exhibition entitled Children of Grass.[7][8] He started the project with the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association, taking photographs of contemporary well-known poets in elaborate scenes and poses, matching those photos with the poet's own work.[9] Each of the poets assembled have claimed to be inspired at some point by Walt Whitman, and these photos will be exhibited in places including the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery.[8]
In 2017 Van Sise exhibited the first outdoor public installation to be held at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, entitled Eyewitness: Photographs. The exhibition was composed of 31 portraits of Holocaust survivors living in New York City.[10] Each portrait was expanded to 13 feet high and five feet wide, printed on vinyl.[11]
In 2018 he exhibited his collection Sweat at the Peabody Essex Museum. Each of the photos exhibited a before and after photo of an athlete, first as they normally looked, and next just as they completed a training session.[12] Athletes included members of the New York Knicks, New York Cosmos, the Gotham Girls Roller Derby League, and competitors in the New York City Marathon.[13] In 2019, his exhibition A Portrait of Poetry was shown at the Center for Creative Photography and the Poetry Center at the University of Arizona.[14]
