I have been working on portrait photography for nearly a year now. I feel I have made a lot of progress with the craft, but currently I need a break. I have decided to work on some abstract photography, combining nudes I have shot over the years, with highly textured backgrounds of walls, wood, salt, sand and clouds, hued with various shaded and saturations of blue.
Blue calms me. Reminds me of the blue of the Mediterranean. Reminds me of History. Reminds me of the short amount of time we have to wander as conscience stardust.
I am an autodidact black and white photographer using both 6x6 and 35mm as media. I'm particularly interested in abstract, abstract nude and landscape photography and how these genres equally intersect and diverge.
I am from the United States and have travelled extensively to Europe and enjoy the opportunities while there to find subjects that pique my curiosity --ones often missed by those too busy to look.
