About your hosts

Jeff Cruz is a Calgary lens-based artist known
for creating abstract and surreal photographs by incorporating
time and movement into his images. The attraction to a Jeff Cruz
photograph is similar to the attraction of a Colour Field
painting; an abstract style that emerged in New York City during
the post-war era. Jeff’s work places less emphasis on location in
favor of color and form. The color and camera movements create
the subject. Jeff’s long-term project of photographing electronic
music events, the evolution of raves to music festivals has been
a passion of his for over 3 decades. He currently is the digital
director for a phone repair and accessories company, CaseMogul
which allows him to utilize his creative talents.

Julie Vincent is a Calgary-based real estate and
events photographer, and exhibiting artist. Her exhibition
projects explore the relationships and struggles between humans
and environment, and how those relationships are influenced by
culture. Since 2018, Julie has been following Indian Relay around
southern Alberta, and into the US, with her colleague and spouse,
Jason Lawrence. Julie’s exhibitions include a six-year-long,
international street photography project, Tripping the Streets
Fantastic, and INDIAN. RELAY., an exhibition of extreme
Indigenous sport, which introduces relay, and also provides a
discussion of terminology. This exhibition was first mounted in
Calgary in 2018, and has since travelled to Tokyo, Osaka,
Hokkaido, Washington DC, and in 2024 to Dallas TX. Julie’s
influences are Mary Ellen Mark, Diane Arbus, and local street
photographer, Brian Visser.
