Abstract nominee

The LIGHT IMITATING ART series, I explore altered light sources and double exposure, creating images that appear more like charcoal sketches than photographs. I am drawn to surrealism, images borne out of dreams and the creative sub-conscience. It is in this exciting experimentation with light, that a figure or reference to a slightly definable object may emerge. Often the question: what am I looking at? The answer is simply, light.

Focus on Abstract: I explore mechanical ways of altering light sources as well as camera motion and double exposure to create images that appear more like charcoal sketches than photographs. I am drawn to surrealism and it is in this exciting experimentation with light that a figure or reference to a slightly definable object may emerge. The ‘Light Imitating Art’ series is shot in studio, utilizing either a smooth or textured surface - often the texture is subtly visible. My technique is unique in the world of photography.
