Last week Schreyer opened a solo documentary photography exhibition at Cornell Fine Arts Museum titled Peter Schreyer: Returning Home. The black-and-white images and personal text capture the Swiss native’s recent visit to his hometown of Pieterlen, Switzerland. The show continues through April 5. This Friday, the story behind Schreyer’s Pieterlen exhibition will be the opening presentation for the new Crealdé Photography Guild. The 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. program will be held in the school’s Showalter Hughes Community Gallery on the main Winter Park campus. Schreyer’s hope is to attract, engage and retain film and digital photography students of all levels. “Come share time with people that have a passion for photography,” invites Schreyer, who also serves as the Interim Director of the Photography Department. The new Crealdé Photography Guild will meet on the last Friday of each month for presentations by established photographers, as well as offering reviews, image sharing, technical demonstrations and field trips. Also new to the campus is the just-completed digital printing area and revamped darkroom – the final projects in an extensive multiyear, multiphase renovation to the Photography Department that equips students to practice both film and digital photography processes. 642 W.

This exhibit has traveled the state of Florida since 1998, and 1 was last exhibited in 2014 by the City of Winter Garden. Crealdé Photography Guild Page 2 Last summer, the Hannibal Square Heritage Center, a program of Crealdé School of Art, hosted Business as Community Life ─ Winter Park 2013, a collaboration with the Winter Park History Museum. As a reflection of contemporary culture, a cross section of Winter Park businesses were selected to create a valuable historic record for the future. Twelve advanced Crealdé students, under the direction of professional documentary photographers Peter Schreyer and Sherri Bunye, photographed 27 businesses, chosen for their historic architecture or long-term presence in the community. There are still a few spaces in the photography master class that will produce the St. Augustine at 450 Documentary Project, which will debut June 19 – August 29, 2015 at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center. Classes begin on Tuesday, January 27, with Peter Schreyer and Sherri Bunye for interested advanced-level students. Participants will be introduced to the history and techniques of the classic documentary style of photography while creating a cohesive project. This documentary will examine the oldest city’s past, its preservation efforts, and its place as a tourist destination, college town and home to a diverse population. (Tuition: Members $280 • Non-members $300.)
