Growing up in North Carolina, Californian, Perry Hambright was drawn to the great surrealists and shaped his aesthetic along those lines. His body of contemporary photography features marriages between composed scenes and striking surrealistic additions. Hambright graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology, studying under Weston Kemp, Tom Muir Wilson, and Bea Nettles, earning his BFA in Fine Art Photography. As a student, Hambright often combined images in the darkroom for aesthetic purposes. He continues to manipulate photographs via computer and other means. His aim is for the work to bring about inquisitive thoughts, spark viewers' imaginations, and please the eye.
