Two Way Lens and Frank Yamrus

Two Way Lens proudly presents Frank Yamrus

I am very happy that Two Way Lens continues with another great photographer. 

New York based artist Frank Yamrus' most recent body of work, I Feel Lucky, is a very personal series of self-portraits. 

He created this project between his 47th and 53rd birthdays. Initially titled Less Than or Equal to 50, this series began with a looming deadline of his 50th birthday, as if on this milestone his midlife crisis would magically resolve itself. At the time, typical midlife crisis issues — relationships, faith, career, health and mortality — were producing classic midlife crisis symptoms — moodiness, exhaustion, the desire to make change and some deafening private politics of self-identity. With his camera, his constant companion during this time, he contemplated a lifetime of choices and created present-day images to evaluate his past with the hope of glimpsing his future. 

Franks work has been exhibited internationally and is included in many private and public collections. 

More of his incredible work can be found on his website.
