About Skip Hine’s Garde Exhibition

Opening Reception: Sunday, August 16 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm before the Our House Concert

Four years ago, I published my book “Memories in Hine Sight – My Life With a Camera” highlighting my life and career as an award winning commercial photographer in my NYC studio or traveling the world shooting for major advertising and corporate clients.

As much as I love what I’ve been able to do for 50 years, Deb and I now live full time in Lyme where I continue shooting for clients but, most importantly, emphasizing my own personal work.

Since the book’s release, my work has been shown in art galleries, cover stories with Ink Magazine, Estuary and Lyme/Old Lyme Neighbors, schools, libraries, international podcasts, permanent collections, retail stores, book signings, and interviews by Channel 8’s Anne Nyberg, CT Examiner, and LymeLine.

I finally had a chance to tell my story.

During my career of incredible experiences that I never dreamed of, I was fortunate to work with memorable actors and models, famous athletes and CEOs, stylists, set builders, and producers. I tried to take advantage of the opportunities which allowed me to shoot portraits for my own portfolio after the project was over; some of these are included in the show.

Gone are the days of needing $10,000 cameras and a crew on set; I now shoot on a more personal level as a creative artist, which allows me to be much more flexible by relying on what I learned all these years through photography and design without relying on AI manipulation to memorialize images of textures, shapes and light in the world around us.

Because my parents died so young, my dad’s photographs of our childhood motivated me to memorialize people and the scenes around me.

Whether it’s a French château or a portrait of a local artisan, there is a story behind every photograph.

This exhibition will be a part of my next book titled – “In Hine Sight – Eyes Wide Open”
