Internationally Recognized Photographer Steven Weisz Showcases “The Garden Sessions” in a Premier Outdoor Digital Exhibition

Philadelphia, PA – Art Imagined Photography, founded by award-winning and internationally exhibited photographer Steven Weisz, is proud to announce its participation in Expo Metro Rome, an extraordinary outdoor digital art exhibition taking place January 24–25, 2026.

This global event brings together artists from around the world and presents their work on two monumental outdoor LED screens positioned in one of Rome’s most dynamic and culturally significant locations—directly in front of Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II, just steps from the Vatican and the historic city center. With an estimated 500,000 viewers passing through the area, the exhibition offers unparalleled visibility in one of the world’s most inspiring urban landscapes.

Featured Works: The Garden Sessions
Weisz will present two signature pieces from his acclaimed 2025 collection, The Garden Sessions, a body of work that explores the intimate connections between portraiture, nature, and emotional narrative.

Hidden in Bloom (2025)
Featuring model Sarah Transue, this portrait was photographed using the Sony a7RV and Tamron 35–150mm f/2–2.8 Di III VXD lens. The image reveals the quiet intensity of a woman’s gaze emerging from behind lush green leaves and a bold purple flower. Dramatic, moody lighting casts cool shadows across her face and surrounding foliage, creating a cinematic tension between concealment and emergence. The result is a striking interplay of mystery, introspection, and the subtle dialogue between human presence and the natural world.

Whispers in Bloom (2025)
Starring model Aarya M.C., this complementary portrait—created with the same Sony/Tamron pairing—captures an intimate moment of serenity as she reclines among vivid orange blossoms. With eyes closed and lips painted a vivid red, the subject radiates peace and emotional surrender. Soft natural light highlights the contours of her face and contrasts with the deep black of her flowing hair, while the shallow depth of field draws viewers into a dreamlike sensory experience. The image becomes a meditation on tranquility, sensuality, and the quiet beauty of stillness.

A Growing Global Presence
Weisz’s work has been exhibited in major cultural centers including Philadelphia, Toronto, Miami Beach, New York, Milan, and Barcelona, with additional pieces archived in national collections. His participation in Expo Metro Rome continues his ongoing mission of bringing fine art to public spaces and widening access to visual storytelling.
“Photography has the ability to transcend cultural and geographic boundaries,” Weisz said. “To see my work featured in such a prominent location in Rome—reaching hundreds of thousands of people from around the world—is both humbling and exhilarating.”
