I am a landscape photographer who aims to provide an emotional connect to the beautiful world around us. Photography is a vehicle to express my inner most sense of connection and spirituality to our majestic landscape. This has led to an unending quest of not just the right light, but also the right conditions to provide a window into my feelings. I also believe that the ultimate manifestation of my art rests in the creation of expressive prints. So, I spend a lot of my time in constantly refining the digital raw files using techniques similar to those employed in the traditional darkroom to ensure that the prints are optimized for color, contrast, sharpness and saturation.
I enjoy making photographs along the coastline as the subjects are varied, thereby providing a wide array of opportunities for different styles of photography. I particularly enjoy making photographs that blur boundaries between the water and sky to create a world of near fantasy, thereby deriving the title for this portfolio. I unified the photographs in this collection with a pastel color palette that envelops the coastline at the magic hour on either side of the day.
“Pink Sweep“, “Pacific Fantasia” and “Pastel Dreams” were made along California’s Pacific coastline. “Eternity” was made at Freycinet National Park in Tasmania, Australia.
