Jo Ann Tooley is a fine art photographer who shoots in both black & white and color. She uses a digital camera for her color photography, and film when photographing in black & white. Her favorite locales for shooting are in and around Washington D.C. and West Virginia. Many of her images reflect isolation and solitude. Certain scenes, especially ones she remembers from her youth—flowers growing wild in open fields, empty roads with sun filtering through the trees, or a lone tree sitting in the middle of a field—evoke strong feelings that she tries to recapture with her camera. She prints her images digitally using the finest papers and archival inks. Her work has been exhibited throughout Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia, including the Torpedo Factory, Photoworks at Glen Echo, Target Gallery, the Artisphere, Barry Gallery, Delaplaine Art Center, The Art League and the Ellipse Gallery in Arlington. A recent exhibit, North River Mills, the Town Time Forgot, at Photoworks, featured images from an abandoned town in West Virginia. A collection of images of trees are on the walls of the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Va. She is a member of the Torpedo Factory and on the Board of directors of The Art League in Alexandria. Several years ago, she founded a women’s photography group, F11, A Women’s Photography Collective, which has also exhibited widely.
