Artist Statement:
I have worked as an
advertising photographer for
years.
Now I'm concentrating on
fineart photography using the
computer and printing on a
wideformat inkjet printer with
pigmented inks for archival
quality.
After an initial excitement
about the effects produced by
the computer, I am now paring
down my technique to achieve a
more subtle atmosphere that
does not veer away too much
from a purely photographic end
result.
Using the computer has become
a method of convenience and
greater control more than a
means to create otherworldly
images that betray a mere
fascination with the available
technology.
I am now returning to a more
rudimentary understanding and
examination of subject matter.
In simplifying my photography
I let the subject reveal
itself more readily than if I
were trying to layer the work
with unnecessary meaning.
There is now a general trend
among fineart photographers
and artists in general to go
back to older processes and
techniques, and this is
finding a healthy echo among
the viewing public and art
buyers.
The modes of presentation of
art have also increased, so
that exposing your work and
being exposed to the work of
others have never been easier.
