Having a Ball

Having a Ball grew out of Pamela Viola’s desire to loosen up her work, and the result are works that are light and whimsical. Using images captured from an iPhone and composited on an iPad, this series is full of layered metaphor, symbolism, and subtle mystery, creating a narrative that is a world of dreams and memories.

Viola earned her BA from in St. John’s University before getting certificate in film making from New York University. After spending 15 years in the film industry, working as a freelance Production Coordinator and Production Manager on feature films such as Black Hawk Down, Hannibal, Natural Born Killers, Nell and Six Degrees of Separation, she returned to still photography as both a commerical and fine art photographer. Her work is regularly featured in galleries throughout metropolitan Washington, DC and New York, and is held in public, private, and corporate collections worldwide.
