IMAGINE REALITY

We see so many images every day, so many pictures, so many moments in time, that in many cases we simply allow them to fade into the expanse of everyday normality. Now imagine a world where any and every image has its own artistic place. Where someone somewhere sees it for what it really is. Where every artist sees the same object, and yet sees it in a different way. My goal as a digital artist is to catch your eye. To leave you entranced and wanting more. To grab your curiosity and not let it go. To take pictures of common-place objects and make you see them in a whole new light. So many people see life through a filter, a filter that dulls down reality. Now look through my view finder and look through my lens. Look, really look, and imagine reality.

Throughout my life, I always loved sci-fi, all the shows, all the movies, all the technology. They made me feel as though I was there. Then one day I realized that all of those scenes were in fact just camera angles and that all the gigantic robots were really just foot-tall models. That really peaked my interest in photography. In recent years I have visited different art galleries, and in those were phenomenal pictures of moments trapped in time forever, thus the definition of a picture. But of all the pictures and paintings I’ve seen, the one that I will remember forever is a blood-red windswept valley and dawn with dirt in the air and the sun hitting it at just the right angle that the particles illuminate and take the form of a person, a ghost. These are the types of pictures I wish to take. Pictures that entrance you, so you just stand there and look at them in total awe.
