Artist Statement My work is a combination of landscape and abstract photography. The camera is my preferred medium to convey my thoughts, feelings and ideas because of the amount of control I have over the image. Landscapes and seascapes are what I shoot the most because I feel inspired by natural environments. Natural lighting and colors plays a big role in my photography.
In this series I wanted to create blurred images that express the speed and movement of the ocean. Although the ocean is the subject, the formal qualities are the heart of these photos. I want to call attention to the formal qualities in this body of work such as the colors, shapes, and lines. Making my work less about the subject allows for alternative interpretations and perspectives of my work. I shot at my favorite times of the day, sunrise and sunset. I chose these times because of the color and light that becomes available naturally. Using my digital camera and a slow shutter speed, I tracked each wave through my viewfinder slowly. This way of shooting gives me the control to make each image in the camera with only minimal processing afterwards. |
