G⫪2: The G2 Gallery and Tandem Stills + Motion Join Forces to Exhibit Nature and Wildlife Photographers

Los Angeles, CA— Two popular photographic institutions in Los Angeles are joining forces, as The G2 Gallery and Tandem Stills + Motion collaborate to share environmental photography exhibits.

The agreement between Tandem and The G2 Gallery will see artists who have exhibited previously at The G2 Gallery put on new shows at the Tandem headquarters in Culver City. The studio space at Tandem will provide a new light in which to view these renowned artists’ best work.

The G2 Gallery, the country’s premier nature and wildlife photography gallery, has displayed the work of Ansel Adams, Robert Glenn Ketchum and many other artists in the past five years. One of their main focuses has been on the introduction and showcasing of local rising talent in the field, and this partnership allows artists who have exhibited at G2 to take that talent to a second location that fits their aesthetic. 

“Tandem’s close relationships with its photographers seemed to make it a natural fit for a partnership,” said G2 Gallery Director Jolene Hanson, who will curate Tandem’s exhibits. “It’s an incredibly successful business, but they haven’t let that affect the way they work with the artists who help make it possible.”

“Joining forces with The G2 Gallery was an obvious choice. Both of us are aligned in our goal of furthering environmental awareness, specifically through stunning photography,” said Tandem founder Ian Shive. “With our two communities coming together, we can truly represent the incredible vision of our talented rosters of photographers.”

The first exhibition to open from this partnership will feature local photographer and G2 Gallery favorite, Jennifer MaHarry, whose wild mustang photos have recently appeared in The Los Angeles Times.
