FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY

ABSTRACTIONS - BLURRING THE LINES OF REALITY...

Using digital photography, I deconstruct my subjects so that individual elements can be more easily seen and therefore appreciated. My images remove details which brings the focus to colors, shapes and textures. This allows the subjects to be experienced as never before, piece by piece. My goal is to provide a visual interpretation of the spirit or “soul” of my subjects rather than a literal representation. I hope to take the viewer beyond looking to “seeing” and then FEELING. By this I mean responding to the essence of the subjects, ideally evoking an emotional reaction.
