A Memory of Autumn by Bethany Newman

2026 Charlevoix Photography Club Juried Show 1st Place Winner!

This still life photograph perfectly depicts the magic of lowlight photography. Given the longer exposure time, there is opportunity to move pieces of the composition to create interesting affects. Can you spot the areas that have been shifted?

Bethany Newman is a local artist who grew up visiting Charlevoix every Venetian and Applefest. She received her BFA from Judson University where she specialized in both sculpture and photography.

“For me, art is about capturing the moments of life I have experienced. I enjoy taking pieces of my life and sharing them with viewers through different mediums. My hope is to draw people into a narrative, whether it’s another piece of their own, or part of mine.” ~Bethany Newman
