His images are platinum contact prints shot with his custom-made 14x20 large format camera.

Izu has received numerous awards including the prestigious National Endowment of the Arts Award in 1984 and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2002.

Clear your schedules, photo enthusiasts--it's time for another PRC PhotoSLAM! The PhotoSLAM is a digital slide show of ALL submitted photographs--a showcase of the talent within the PRC membership. YOU choose the work to show; YOU bring your friends and narrate your entries the day of the slam; and YOU make as much noise as you can to help select the winners. The PRC PhotoSLAM is a great chance to get feedback on new work or show your favorites, catch up with old friends or network with new ones, win fun prizes, and see the images that other PRC members are passionate about. Let your work be seen!

Call 617-975-0600 or email [email protected] for more information.
