NEWS RELEASE
For immediate release
DECEMBER 28, 2023, HOUSTON, TX — UNEXPECTED is a new book by fourth–generation Houston photographer Alan Montgomery. It is as motivational as it is entertaining and speaks to the innate creativity of the human soul.
What readers will find amazing is the extraordinary things people create. The full title of the book is UNEXPECTED, HTX ARTISTS AMONG US. Since all the artists featured are Houstonians, it further confirms that Houston is a “Can Do” city unlike any other in the world.
The coffee-table–size book contains Montgomery’s inspirational photographs of 56 Houston artists. His photos capture the essence of each person‘s personality as well as their craft. Not only are the photographs works of art unto themselves, but each spread is devoted solely to one individual artist as they recount their personal journey to artistic freedom in their own words. When you view the colorful photos and read the stories, you will find that nearly all the artists profiled came to their art by a surreptitious route that was almost always, UNEXPECTED.
While the book captures how the artists discovered their own talent, it also shows how so many forms of art are completely unpredictable, or you could say, they are completely UNEXPECTED.
Here’s just a sampling of those featured:
PLUS…46 other creative talents
The original full color photographs will be hung for viewing on January 4 until March 30 in the main lobby of The Post Building at 401 Franklin in downtown Houston. A book signing by author/photographer Alan Montgomery and many of the artists will be held January 18, 2024, from 5 to 8 PM also at The Post Building at 401 Franklin in Houston.
Alan Montgomery is also available for interviews and/or speaking engagements to groups, clubs, and charitable organizations.
