Klett graduated from St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, in 1974 with his bachelor?s degree in geology. In 1977, he received his Masters of Fine Arts degree in Photography from State University of New York in Buffalo. He also completed a program of photographic studies at the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, New York. Klett?s solo exhibitions include the National Museum of American Art at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.; the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona; the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, Illinois; and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography in Japan. The Antwerp Museum of Photography in Belgium, the Art Institute of Chicago, the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York are among the numerous permanent collections that include works by Klett. Klett was influenced by the late 19th century expeditionary, Timothy O?Sullivan. Famous for documenting the so-called unexplored territories of the West, O?Sullivan?s images always manage to reveal the effects man has had on the landscape. Klett?s work also focuses on the interaction between man and his environment.

Floyd and Kathy Robins

Dater is recognized as one of today?s leading photographers. She has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts, Individual Artist Grant, and a Dorothea Lange Award. Her works have appeared in exhibitions at the International Center of Photography in New York, Webster University in St. Louis, and California College of Arts and Crafts. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona, International Museum for Photography in Rochester, New York and Yale University Art Gallery contain her works in their permanent collections. Dater manages every detail of the portrait and never leaves anything to chance. This staging gives her portraits a formal quality reminiscent of monumental oil paintings of the 19th century. The subjects are instructed on what to wear, how to act and even where to look. Judy admits these portraits are not spontaneous at all because she directs every detail to achieve the outcome she desires. Dater says each of her portraits is just a reflection of herself; she says it is unreasonable to think the ?self? could avoid being included in her work.
