FINE
ART PHOTOGRAPHY
artist
statement
|
|
|
My
passion for photography has rewarded me with the opportunity to
examine the world more carefully - to really look, and see. Success
is two-fold; first in making the discovery and capturing the moment
that calls to me and second, in transferring that sense of discovery
to the viewer. Drawn to images that offer a strong composition,
pattern and rhythm I seek to create work with a unique perspective
(both visually and intellectually). Pushing the limits of traditional
composition 'rules' excites me. My approach is intuitive and I choose
to impose no constraints, leaving myself open only to possibilities.

experience
|
|
|
Over
25 years in the commercial art field, includes working with Adobe
Photoshop for many years. (Graphic Design & Illustration resume available
from home page.) |
| |
Introduced to photography on a serious level with college course in
1975. |
| |
Interest in photography as my fine art medium was renewed in 2001. |
| |
During 2001-02 studied under accomplished photographer, instructor
and artist. |
| |
In 2003 natural transition to digital photography utilizes Photoshop
experience and allows the control of in-studio print-making. |
