Margaret Fox has a rich and varied professional background
in fine art, business and education. She currently owns her own
photography business that specializes in corporate, editorial and
special event photography.
Having studied fine art photography and graduating with an MFA from
the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, NY, Margaret finds it
a challenge to apply her photographic vision to commercial assignments.
Some of her commercial work has received awards including a Print
Regional Design Award for photographs featured in a US Savings Bond
Brochure and an award from the International Association of Business
Communicators (IABC) for Excellence in Color Photography. Her recent
corporate clients include: MasterCard International, Praxair, United
Nations Federal Credit Union and Verizon.
Her fine art photography is traditional in the sense that her pictures
make individual statements. Although she uses a 4x5 view camera
to capture highly detailed images she is thoroughly contemporary
in her use of Adobe® Photoshop® to create the effects she
wants. The software allows her to add that extra edge: an expanded
realization of an idea in order to round out her artistic vision.
The subject matter of her images rely on humor, and have references
to language, art history and the American culture. Over the last
twenty years her work has been featured in 8 solo and 21 group exhibits
across the US and Canada, including the Katonah Museum, and the
2002 Westchester Biennial Show at the College of New Rochelle. In
2002 she was awarded a New
York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) artist grant for photography.
As an educator, Margaret is certified to teach grades K-12 in
New York State and has taught college level photography as well
as adult education. She is a teaching artist for the Westchester
Arts Council and in 1999 received a grant from the "Friends
of the Rockefeller Preserve" to collaboratively teach photography
with the preserve's naturalist to special needs students grades
5-8.
Other experiences include: photo editor of a corporate employee
magazine and production manager for a corporate annual report
where she managed a budget of $ 1.5 million for reports that were
received by 1.3 million shareowners.
Margaret volunteers in her community by providing Pro-Bono photography
for non-profit organizations and recently completed a term as a
trustee for her local public school.
