Artist Statement for Matt Swinden
|
|
|
A Short
Bio...
I am an artist that can't paint, draw, or sculpt, therefore
I am a photographer. That is why I capture
images on film, as an expression of
what I think is interesting; what I
find humorous; what I think is beautiful;
and what I think will tell a story.
To me, the world is a boundless photo
opportunity. That is my simple philosophy.
I have been taking pictures since high
school and have traveled throughout
North America and Europe to capture
my over 5,000 images.
In my quest for the great "shot", I have sat with
Elk grazing in Yellowstone, produced
a smile from an elderly caretaker of
a cliff top church in Sicily, sat for
hours waiting for a pod of Killer
Whales that never appeared only to be
spellbound by a lighthouse and a sunset,
and to have been licked by a hungry
giraffe.
I share these images with you
in the hopes that you will gain some
pleasure in viewing them. Use your
imagination, pretend that you are the
observer, make up your own story. Please
allow me to be your guide… Matt Swinden
