Artist's statement
Through
my photographs I strive to reveal a passion for exploring our world. I
prefer subjects that lead to images with chromatic strength and use
creative lighting to not only illuminate my subjects but also to give
them a dream-like, surreal quality. The process of photography allows me
to pursue the art of transforming everyday objects into images that
progress from "everyday" to art. I believe my photographs are most
successful when they reveal the subjects subtle elegance. My images have
included: vibrant flowers, unique still life's, colorful maritime
images, and landscapes. My work consists of both broad themes and
stand-alone individual pieces. The simple elegance of flowers has
inspired me and I have turned my attention to creating unique and
chromatically strong images of them. I am self-taught and utilize a
variety of lighting techniques as well as the manipulation of natural
light going beyond simple illumination to create truly unique
photographs. I consciously employ traditional as well as innovative
lighting techniques to create my final images. I have found myself drawn
to subjects that have allowed me to produce a body of work which
includes macro images focusing on the intimate elements of our world. My
close-up images are created using a shallow and selective depth of
field. I generally choose subjects with vibrant colors; in addition, I
have become increasingly intrigued by the interaction of color and light
and have utilized a relatively new post processing technique; HDR (High
Dynamic Range) to further explore this interaction. When people see my
work, I would like them to find a new appreciation of the world around
them. My current goal is to build on my prior experience and to
challenge myself by refining my personal artistic style and creative
qualities. Hopefully my work speaks for itself, and gives enjoyment to
the viewer. Each person will view my images a little differently and
that is as it should be.
