The Jacarandas of Buenos Aires photo show lives on

The Jacarandas of Buenos Aires photo show lives on, and in a couple of different ways!!

First, Juan Pablo and Malena have finished the video of the opening at the Botanical Gardens and put together a lovely video from early November. I’m not one to judge as I’m a bit biased, but I think it’s absolutely wonderful! It sets the conditions for joy and energy of the day, full of art, flowers, children and friendship. Please enjoy the video below:

Second, I have been asked by a new LGBT cultural center here in Argentina to host the show for a couple of weeks at the end of the year, so there will be another inauguration tonight December 22 (7-11 PM) at Feliza, which is located at Av. Córdoba 3271, Buenos Aires. If you are in Buenos Aires, please come on by!

Interview by BCN Radio about the Jacarandas

Beatrice Murch — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 21:02:19 +0000

The last week of the Jacaranda photo exhibition at the Botanical Gardens, I had the honor to be interviewed by the radio of the National Congressional Library of Argentina. I have put together a video from the interview with photos by myself and Ariel Kanterewicz (from the exhibition opening) with subtitles so that both English and Spanish speakers alike can enjoy the interview. As noted in this video, I have been asked by a new LGBT cultural center here in Argentina to host the show for a couple of weeks at the end of the year, so there will be another inauguration on December 22 (7-11 PM) at Feliza. If you are in Buenos Aires, please come on by!

Christmas Family Photos

Beatrice Murch — Wed, 06 Dec 2017 12:08:52 +0000

I was contacted by the lovely D about shooting her, her Argentine husband and their lovely young daughter on their short visit in Buenos Aires. Luckily, our schedules meshed and we scheduled a shoot in the traditional neighborhood of San Telmo, to get that old-school feeling with the light and cobblestones. We spent a morning together and focused mainly on posed shots for their yearly Christmas cards. We worked so well together, that D suggested we have another shoot later on in the week to get more photojournalistic style coverage of them with their daughter enjoying Buenos Aires. It was a distinct pleasure to capture the love, joy, and beauty this family share. Please enjoy the slideshow below!

Successful opening and a bit of press

Beatrice Murch — Sat, 11 Nov 2017 07:43:53 +0000

The show had quite a successful opening on Saturday November 4th with some 50-60 people in attendance. The day was bright and cheerful, the crowd was interested and interesting and the photos all looked great hung up on the walls. I know that several friends have been during this past week as well and have all sent really positive feedback.

My friend Ariel K was on hand and took some lovely photos. I have linked to the album on FB and included some photos below. Juan Pablo and Malena were also on hand to take video of the opening and also the day before they took some of the mounting of the photos. When that is ready to show, I’ll send out another update.

Clarin, one of the daily newspapers here in Buenos Aires, just published an article about the jacarandas of Buenos Aires and included a quote from me and a bit about the show which was very nice of them.

“Pero no sólo los porteños muestran una admiración floral inusitada. También los extranjeros, como Beatrice Murch, fotógrafa estadounidense afincada en Buenos Aires que el sábado inauguró una exposición en el Botánico sólo con imágenes de esta especie.

“Llegué a la Ciudad un mes de noviembre, con los jacarandás en flor. Estaban tan lindos que me enamoré. En California, donde nací, también hay, pero acá están por todos lados: en las avenidas y las plazas, y también en las calles angostas, donde son una sorpresa de color”, cuenta entusiasmada Murch.”

Dear readers and supporters, thank you so much for all of your support in making this dream a reality. Please take time and visit IndieGoGo to learn more on how you can continue to give us support.

IndieGoGo Campaign for Jacaranda Photo Exhibition

Beatrice Murch — Wed, 06 Sep 2017 17:15:43 +0000

If you have ever been lucky enough to be in Buenos Aires in November, you can’t have failed to notice the Jacarandas and their purple flowers. I immigrated to Argentina in 2006, immediately fell in love with the beauty of the trees here, and now have a collection of photographs spanning more than 10 years. This November, there will be an exhibition at the Jardín Botánico of Buenos Aires of my series of photos of the Jacaranda trees that grace the streets, plazas and parks of Buenos Aires. Twelve beautiful canvas prints will be displayed at the the same time as these trees will be Mommy and me dresses blooming all around this beautiful city. I have launched an IndieGoGo campaign to raise funds to pay for this exhibition and to be a way for my extended family, friends, and maybe even some fans of my work to participate in this exhibition from both near and afar with both financial and emotional support. I am humbled and blown away by the support thus far! Thank you!

If you can’t make it to the exhibition, but you still want to enjoy the Jacarandas, consider getting a copy of the full-color photo book that I just completed called “The Seasons of Buenos Aires” where you can appreciate not just the Jacarandas, but a wide variety of the iconic trees of Buenos Aires. Please visit the campaign page to see the wide-range of other perks available to brighten the walls of your home or office, or surprise your loved ones with gifts this holiday season.

The IndieGoGo campaign will only run through October 15th, and the photo exhibition will be held from November 4th – 27th. If you will be in Buenos Aires then, please come to the opening and visit the beautiful gardens!

Thank you for your amazing support and please share with your friends!

Portrait session with Helen Coyle

Beatrice Murch — Thu, 31 Aug 2017 21:46:23 +0000

I had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with two friends to create a photoshoot for a new website. Helen Coyle contacted me and together with her web designer, Sally Townsend-Blake, we spent a couple of hours together in Palermo creating images to go with the new site. We explored the nooks and crannies of the beautiful bookstore/cafe Eterna Cadencia and then hit the streets to discover the latest Palermo street art. This wasn’t just about getting some headshots, it was about creating a feeling, conveying an image and both me connecting with Helen, and connecting Helen to her audience. It was really a wonderful experience because it was about collaboration between Helen, myself, and Sally.

Taking headshots and transmitting the beauty I see in front of the camera is only part of the work; working together to capture the desired look and feel, and transmit emotions is what it’s all about.

Here are some of my favorites from that morning.

E-session with Erica and Santos

Beatrice Murch — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 01:07:19 +0000

Thursday afternoon, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting with Erica and Santos for their photo shoot at one of my absolute favorite places in Buenos Aires: Jardín Botánico Carlos Thays in Palermo. We wandered around the garden for a couple of hours as the two love-birds enjoyed the surroundings and each other. Their playful spirit and their love for each other made it simple to capture in the photographs. I look forward to shooting their wedding in February – it should be a blast!
