Description

I'm going to post a few images of this series I've been working on for a little while now, called "Streamlined." I've been moving away a lot from "traditional" photography lately, not because I don't like traditional photographs, but I think I need to be doing something different right now. I'm more interested right now in finding ways that photographs in the digital medium can be presented in new ways. For what it's worth, here's an artist's statement I came up with for this series to help clarify what I'm trying to do:


Photography, in my view, is a technological art. Its progression is directly tied to that of technology. This perspective has interested me in exploring how technology allows us to manipulate photographs in new ways.

An important aspect of photography is how compositional elements in an image are isolated. Traditionally this is done with aspects such as focus, perspective, lighting, contrast, and so on. This series uses digital techniques to linearly blur the photograph in two different directions, blending parts of the image over each other in one of the two orientations. The intent is to stress the relationship of compositional elements to each other in terms of linear direction, and how these relationships help create an aesthetic impression.


Anyways, this is a shot from Bruges, Belgium. Beautiful town...if you haven't been there, I highly recommend it.

well put. I work a bit different, but can follow your interpretation of the digitalisation - with all his techniques - of photography.. I' m going to favor this one..
