Artists Describing Their Art:
Rosemarie Stanford - ------------------------------------------------------------------- I love to play with light in my images. "I find nature, especially flowers, to be very sensual and I try to capture that sensuality in my work. I use only black backgrounds because,to me, black gives a dramatic and mysterious look to the work. I especially love the way black intensifies the beauty and gentleness of an orchid, flower or shell, yet at the same time, has a powerful feel. I enjoy working with nature. There is a tranquility in a garden that is so comforting. So come walk through my garden and let me share its beauty with you. I have begun exploring the intricacy of a shell formations. The shapes, color and patterns are amazing. You can view more of my work at www.fruitofmylabor.com Thank you for stopping by and viewing my work. ...
Gurdas Dua Fiipc Fbaf Hon.apasp - Pictorial is mother of all branches of Photography. So I always have a Pictorial approach towards my subject. When I select my subject matter, my priorities are- 1. Originality of the subject matter. 2. Interest in the subject matter. 3. Composition including lighting on subject. 4. Technique of taking Photograph. 5. Presentation. My Interests are in the field of- Landscapes, Still life, Children, Portraits, Nature, floral and especially Human Interest Photography. My Profession is Advertising & Industrial Photography. I strongly feel that just clicking the shot do not make anybody a photographer, but if one does all the processes like film developing, print making and print finishing or Digital Photo Finishing himself / herself then he or she can be called a photographer. That is the reason I do all the processes myself in mediums like Black & white, Color Negative, Color Positives and Digital etc. ...
Ranjan Sharma -
Jonathan Charles - My medium is art photography. This means there is no claim of documentary realism - the pictures are created to present an idea but based originally on photographs and (mostly) having the style of a photographic image. I work in South West England and he Charente region of France. My subject is an exploration of beauty and dreams - I see more than enough of troubling reality to want to project it further. My work covers 40 years starting with B&W bleak landscapes through abstract nudes, portraits, dance & theatre to the added dimension of colour and emphasis on personal experience and subconscious mythology. I am always improvising, trying to learn from the images and people's reactions to them. My own website is a portal to my longstanding photo.net gallery which includes a lot of background information about the images. I also have a blog which I have just re-activated. I plan to add the stories behind many of my photo series, old and new. More of my work can be seen via my website:
Katja Liedle - Photography is a way of connecting with the world around me, capturing its more unusual nuances from a subjective point of view. This created a style which focuses on colors and forms and highlights tiny details thereby abstracting from everyday reality. focus * motto: close up * natural and other details * colors, forms, structures, patterns * abstractions * experiments with forced and cross processing ...
Paul Pablo Sultana - **STOP PRESS** www.pablosultana.co.uk July 2007 - Just exhibited works from his latest series "221 years in the Making" as part of the UK`s International Festival of the Image (Rhubarb Festival) 2006 June 2007 - Produced his first public exhibition at the Custard Factory Gallery in Birmingham under the Mentorship of the Great Max Kandhola and Rhonda Wilson MBE. ********************************************************************* Born in Birmingham in 1963 to Anglo-Maltese parents - A diverse and multi-disciplined freelance artist Working predominately in Digital Photography, but successfully marries this with more traditional paint techniques and sculpture. The diversity of Pablo`s upbringing and career background to date is reflected in his Artwork; " .One Minute I was in the middle of the Gulf being taught how to kill people, a couple of months later I was visiting prisons helping rehabilitate Young Offenders". Not surprisingly then is the variety and seeming contradictions in both the media and subject matter of Pablos` work Pablo has never been either accepted or rejected--And he would have it no other way. Flirtations with Poetry, Prose, Sculpture, Photography, Digital Media, Oils, Acrilics, Water Colours and Pastels are regularly experienced, sometimes in charming combination. "..His eyes, hands and brain, in searching...
David Hum - Philosophy : Every now & then, amidst our daily lives, we experience moments in time. Peter Beard's quote " the time is always now " rings true for me. The present time is a valuable commodity and much often taken for granted. Photography transcends how the philosophy of art is expressed with such elegance. I capture these decisive moments revealing the pure essence of life. Instants in time, evidence of past. Life is a snapshot away. Capture it and its forever, timeless. Light emits life to all we see, a luminous world essential & pure. My journey, fragments of time & light. David Sun Hum...
Eduardo Diaz - Statement My name is Eduardo DIaz and Iim a Mexican artist residing in the Bay Area since 2001. In my work I express different elements of Mexican culture, while emphasizing its Native American heritage. I incorporate native themes and images, both extant and prehispanic, into my works and combine them with personal feelings, experiences or fears. Although cultural elements are the essence of my art, through them I also like to express political and social opinions. As a Mexican, I feel in touch with the problems at the Mexican-American border, as well as with the issues facing Mexican immigrants. I also like to express the tension between the indigenous and the industrialized worlds, and to analyze the different elements that make up Mexican identity, especially when confronted with life in a different country. My favorite medium is oil painting. I use vivid and deep colors, with which I reflect the light of the Mexican sun. Some of my compositions are figurative, and oscillate between realistic scenes and more elaborated images, with affinity to surrealism. My most recent productions are less figurative and combine the same vivid colors into expressive abstract constructions. Biography My name is Eduardo D...
