Artwork Description


Reflections is a documentary-style photography series of black and white photographs of personal living spaces of over sixty renowned individuals whose lives and careers have addressed the fundamental political, economic, and social realities of the 20th century and beyond. In each photographic image, a mirror is strategically placed as the subject is reflected in it. Currently, the collection includes a network of luminaries such as legendary musician BB King, sculptor Elizabeth Catlett, civil rights activist Daisy Bates (The Mother of Little Rock Nine), lawyer William T. Coleman Jr. (Brown vs Board of Ed), and Dr. Phyllis Harrison-Ross, along with 63 other great individuals. Accompanied by Tar’s personal written memoirs of his photo shoots, Reflections reveals a creative collaboration of dialogue between Tar and his subjects and culminates into an emergence of art and information sharing for all to learn and enjoy.

Terrence A. Reese

Bio Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Terrence A. Reese has always had an eye for capturing the essence of his subjects, and allowing the image to tell the story. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Southern Illinois in Cinema & Photography and a minor in African American History. After college, Terrence moved to New York City to pursue his passion for photography. In 1988, tar, Inc. (“tar”) was launched; a full-service photo studio in Chelsea. tar attracted an array of clients which included powerful individuals within the entertainment business, and political giants in New York and abroad such as, Virgin Records, Warner Brothers, Billy Joel, Lauren Hill, Rev, Jesse Jackson, former New York City Mayor, David Dinkins, and Tupac Shakur. He has also collaborated with many prestigious publications such as Esquire Weekly, Vogue, and Harper’s Bazaar. In 1997, the Smithsonian Institution selected from tar’s personal library, several hip hop images to be a part of their permanent collection. Artist Statement Reflections Images are the best way I can educate and capture the imaginations of people of all ages. It’s a playful way of learning about an individual as you look for them in their environment. These images are like looking a movie every time you look at one you see something you had not seen before.
