In conclusion, a quote from the authors of the foreword of Roy Zetisky’s books, releasing in 2025, Mariel Hemingway and Melissa Yamaguchi, Co founders of the Mariel Hemingway Foundation: “Roy Zetisky’s photography beautifully captures the essence of the greater whole. He offers a visual invitation to experience nature’s tranquility. Through his lens, the wilderness becomes more than a distant spectacle – it is a relatable, soothing presence that speaks to the soul. His images exude a calming simplicity, grounding viewers in the stillness and peace that only nature can offer. Roy’s work serves as a gentle reminder that in reconnecting with the natural world, we rediscover a part of ourselves, calming our spirit in the process.”
Besides this exhibition, Zetisky also currently has some of his analogue works from the eighties on exhibition at Gallery F, in Shortmarket Street.
