Artist Statement
Light of Puerto Morelos
For over almost four decades, Reed Stuart Rahn has lived behind the lens bearing witness to history, beauty, and humanity across continents. From the cover of Time Magazine to the pages of National Geographic, his camera has always been a bridge between moments and meaning, people and place. Now, at 66, he steps into a new chapter: sharing his personal vision through fine art photography.
Light of Puerto Morelos is more than a collection of images; it is a meditation on light, color, and connection. Created on the shores of the Caribbean in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, this series captures not just the beauty of a place, but the frequency of harmony that nature communicates when we are quiet enough to listen. Through color landscape photography, he invites the viewer to reconnect with nature, with stillness, and with the luminous truth that everything is connected.
This debut fine art series consists of sixteen carefully curated images, printed in a limited edition form of ten per photograph. Each print is a conversation piece, a visual poem, and an invitation to remember our origin: the natural world.
The work will first be exhibited at Artiszzimo Fine Art Gallery in Puerto Morelos on July 1, 2025, and will tour select national and international galleries and museums. Accompanying the exhibition is the forthcoming photographic coffee table book, Light of Puerto Morelos.
To those who collect this work: thank you for valuing the story of light and land. These prints are more than art; they are timeless investments in beauty, perspective, and the universal language of nature. Reed looks forward to signing your personal limited edition print, Thank You.
