Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Ari Gabel nurtured the ability and importance of photography into a life long passion of his, which came to fruition during his four years at the Ringling College of Art and Design. His work is both a balance of research and shear instinct, allowing him to explore the environment around him and establish a common understanding of the land. His use of analog cameras is not due to the rarity of it's existence in modern times, but for for the quality it posses and the personable connection it creates with the subject. © Kenneth Sterling Gronquist
