I was first introduced to photography through admiring Ansel Adams' work, which sparked a deep appreciation for the art form. This initial fascination expanded as I explored the contributions of photographers and artists such as Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Weston, Georgia O'Keeffe, Roger Dean, Gary Larson, influential figures like Piet Mondrian and Frank Lloyd Wright. Their unique perspectives have shaped my understanding of visual composition and emotional resonance in art. To further cultivate this passion, I attended the Maryland Institute of Arts to establish a foundational knowledge that would allow me to build upon my skills in photography.
I believe that a photograph should evoke an emotion related to time and space or provoke curiosity in the viewer. By observing a space or object long enough, one can identify opportunities to capture moments or details that resonate deeply with others. Often, a theme or series may originate from just one compelling photograph.
While I tend to gravitate towards black-and-white imagery for its timeless quality, there are instances where color becomes essential in conveying sensory experiences.
Throughout the years, I have had several exhibitions showcasing my work and have found great joy in witnessing audience reactions—especially when individuals connect with the images on a personal level. The interplay between art and viewer is what drives my creative process. As you engage with these photographs, your feedback will be invaluable; I am always eager to hear perspectives that can enhance my artistic journey.
Cheers,
Will
