James Wellington

James Welling  is a remarkable photographer that began as a watercolor painter and molded into a black and white, later color, photo artist. He was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1951 and studied at a multitude of universities, such as  West Hartfor Art Leauge, Carnegie Mellon and CalArts. An interesting fact is that Welling was never formally trained in photography, but bought a used Burke and James 4 x 5 inch view camera in 1976. From there, he experimented with Polaroids and abstract photography. Currently, he teaches at UCLA changed the photography curriculum from black and white to color. In addition he contributed to the photography revolution in contemporary art.
