Von Falken has created lyrical and personal statements about people and places for almost four decades. Her photographs reveal the essential and often hidden emotional core of her subjects. Her architectural imagery explores a range of settings and seasons.

She has lived and worked in the Berkshires since 1977. Her business in Stockbridge, SVF Photography Studios, specializes in creative, innovative and spontaneous imagery. She also offers private photography workshops.
The artist has earned a broad client base throughout the East Coast and Europe. Her images have been widely published. Two of her many exhibitions were included in the Dana Faber Collection of Art in Boston and the National Portrait Gallery in Washington.
Von Falken will discuss the exhibit Tuesday, Dec. 1, at noon in K-116. Forum credit is available for BCC students attending the discussion.
