JIMMY BENDER
Yes I Do
March 26 - May 15, 2011
 Photographer Jimmy Bender has a unique, cinematographic eye for capturing
moments in time.
In his work as an engagement and wedding photographer, Bender focuses
on what might otherwise be overlooked, capturing pictures that tell
the story behind the story. These are the little moments that form
to create the big day: brides primping and groomsmen “grooming.” Bender
also has a gift for finding beauty in decrepitude: crumbling back alleys
and rusty jalopies create bittersweet and nostalgic backdrops for photos
of promise and hope. Creative vision and careful staging blended with
a meticulous attention to form and detail, takes Bender’s work
out of the realm of memento and places it well within the realm of
art.
Jimmy Bender grew up in Durham on a dairy farm. He earned a double
major in Fine Arts and Social Work from the Redeemer University College
in Anchester, Ontario. Together with his wife Sonya he runs Green Autumn
Photography in Hamilton.
