I enjoy using a camera to translate my visualization into reality on paper. Visualization is defined as the ability to see in the "mind's eye" the finished work before actual application. It is the creative process of images transitioning from the realm of the reactive and contemplative to the conscious and deliberate. An element of surreal gives the viewer a different perspective on the subject, removing the literal and getting down to the essence of conveying the energy of the subject. For me, the image begins when the work goes beyond merely representing reality and enters the realm of personal expression. My methods are meant to be intentional, whether in the camera or post processing.

Simply Red



Love the vibrant red against the beige background. And I really like the curves of the stems and the flowing red petals...I guess you can gather from my comments that I like this image! The original BG was harsh concrete so I used the Topaz Simplify to soften the BG. I also wanted to portray the flowers in a flowing manner and Simplify was just right for that.. A simplistic image IMO.
