Introducing the artists alphabetically: 

Bruce White is an accomplished studio photographer of 35+ years, using his independent artist practice to break away from the precise formality of his day-to-day leading museums, noted artists, and government institutions.

Inspired by history, Bruce White captures the abstract and fleeting qualities of the built material world. The “here today, gone tomorrow” mentality where now is already yesterday. Fueled by the passage of time and material, he uses photography to eternalize brevity.  

Bruce White’s photographs have been featured in 500 art books while working at institutions with collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the State Department to Royal Highness the Queen of Spain. 

Charles White, a renowned photographer, boasts a diverse career spanning architecture, interior design, and street art. Charles White's keen eye for detail emerges in his exploration of LA's cultural tapestry, focusing on gritty street art and hidden city scenes. His aim is to immortalize the continuous essence of the city, sparking inner reflection on its contrasts and complexities. Through his lens, Charles White prompts viewers to confront the world's paradoxes, transcending personal boundaries to foster recognition and awareness rather than resolution.  Culture House’s exciting and unique vision speaks directly to Charles’ process; sharing his work with the D.C. community, Charles hopes to create dialogues between the two cities and discussion around the irony behind what is seen and what lies beneath the obvious.

Charles White’s commercial work includes capturing palaces, celebrity homes, museums, and resorts—showcased in publications like Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, and Vogue. His pieces also appear in esteemed collections like the Ahmanson Foundation and The Getty House.
