Artist Statement
PEOPLE! I like to photograph People!
Capturing them on film, or digital, in their natural environment. I wait to show people expressing themselves at a certain moment in time, a mission I am not always successful at. Photographing people is what I love to do. Combined with landscape photography. These are two genres I am familiar with photographing.
Inspiration for my artwork comes from Brett Weston. He was a master at abstractive landscapes and his portraiture of nudes. I am also inspired by Ansel Adams and his awesome landscape photography. The 3 works I am displaying here in the Haldan Gallery are all 3 digital photographs. "Hallelujah" is a spontaneous expression of joy by a performing artist on stage! It has had a special Photoshop filter applied for the effect that you see. "Moonshine" is a candid photo of 2 women at a street fair in Haight-Ashbury, observing a moment in time. "Eyes Only" is a candid photo of a girl hanging out in front of a street mural in downtown Reno. She has a nice look being in front of a mural of eyes.
