Real or Unreal (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Do you wonder if the images are real? My photographic art builds on multiple overlayed scenes shot from different positions and in different directions. All contributing photos are taken with a 180-degree fish eyes lens, where the circular image is stretched to rectangular format. I use a special technique to extract the vertical gradients of light and color to reveal the beauty and drama that characterizes a place and a moment. I build the image, scene by scene, to shape the essentials of the place I want to describe. Sometimes the result looks like a regular photograph, and other times it looks like a surrealist or impressionist painting. I want the art to first catch attention and then to puzzle the viewer. If possible, I turn the background into the centerpiece.
