Light Work and Community Darkrooms are pleased to present the photographic work of Syracuse University MFA student Joe Lingeman.

Lingeman combines varying modes of photography—still life, commercial portraiture, and street photography. Taken as a whole, his images deal with absurdity, spiritual longing, and a tension between authenticity and artifice in contemporary life in the developed world.
