I was thinking the other day that there must be easily over one billion cameras out there in the world. Everyone is a photographer. What a dilemma for the artist who aspires to stand out among all those billion-plus cameras snapping roll after roll after roll.......now file after file.
But stand out I do. I hope that my camera, in capturing the light as it plays on the land that surrounds us defines for you what a Fine Art Photographer is. That my images bring to you a sense of the wonder and beauty that nature gives to us all.
Every time I set up my tripod I ask myself the question, “What am I seeing that others don’t see that separates my art from the amateur photographer’s”. I can’t just rely on my technical understanding of the medium, the use of my various lenses, the proper exposure, or the creative use of depth of field to separate me from those billion cameras snapping away. I also need to compose my images so that the viewer has a proper feel for what I have captured on film and photographic paper. To have a quality of light that brings nature to life for you my viewers. For it is “this quality of light” that separates me from the millions of images that are produced d
