High school photographer Aryan Mehta’s latest exhibition is WILD
Aryan Mehra’s photo exhibit, WILD, is at the Kriewall-Haehl Gallery in Rothrock Performing Arts Center at the Woodside Priory School in Portola Valley through September 26. An opening reception will be held in the same location on Friday, September 6, 6-8 pm,
Aryan is a senior at The Nueva Upper School and the creator of @16mmphotos, named after
the focal length, 16mm, known for its ability to capture crisp close-up foregrounds and stunning backgrounds in one shot. His mostly black and white exhibition captures majestic and vulnerable moments in time of nature and wildlife photography.
“I was inspired to become a photographer in 2019 as I embarked on a road trip from San Francisco to British Columbia and captured nature along the coast with a used camera gifted to me,” says Aryan. “Since then, I have embarked on many mindful expeditions with friends and family including a week-long backpacking trip in Yosemite and summiting Exit Glacier in Alaska.”

Located in the lobby of Priory’s Rothrock Performing Arts Center, this distinctive space showcases the creative talents of students, faculty, and selected Bay Area artists.
