Frank Lavelle
Frank Lavelle has been a photo educator for the past twenty-seven years, teaching all levels of black & white and color photography, as well as alternative printing and other specialty courses. He has teaching experience at such institutions as Corcoran School of Art, Trinity College, Northern Virginia Community College, and University of Delaware, where he earned an MFA in Photography. Frank was the Director of Photographic Education for twenty seven years at the Smithsonian Associates in Washington, DC, overseeing a program that offers approximately eighty-five courses per year.
In addition to teaching and producing fine art work, Frank has continuously worked in the commercial field. His photography utilizes many formats including pinhole, plastic cameras, 35mm, panoramic, medium format, and view camera; printing with traditional black & white materials, platinum and palladium, gum bichromate, cyanotype, and type C color. Most recently, Frank has become interested in using Photoshop’s “digital darkroom” as an alternative to the traditional darkroom.
