Kim Riegel Photography - Birmingham, Alabama

Kim Riegel has always expressed herself artistically, and turned to photography as her primary medium 12 years ago. While she no longer practices counseling, the field in which she was trained, she applies her skills and intuition to the photography of people. “I am fascinated by the inner life of other people, and what motivates their thoughts and actions. I like to reach the ‘real’ person and bring that into the visual image. Their willingness to reveal themselves is a gift, an invitation of trust and acceptance.” Her certainty of technical craft allows her to concentrate on conceptualizing the visual and emotional power of the images. “Viewers respond to a photograph, not because of its technical perfection, but because it speaks to their heart—it touches somewhere within them.” The freedom to creatively explore is an important part of Kim’s image making, whether it is editorial and publicity work, or portrait and fine art. Kim has studied with Joyce Tenneson, Jock Sturges, and Connie Imboden among others. In the belief that we are always students, she is continually striving for personal and artistic evolution. She is currently working on a book project of documentary photographs, as well as her ongoing portrait and human form work. The artwork of Kim Riegel has been exhibited throughout the United States, and has received a number of awards. She has been published in numerous magazines and included in several books. She teaches photography at...

ALAN D. WILLIAMS- distinctive photo.graphic images - Original Abstract Photography for Interior Decorating

Photo-Abstractions: original photographs which look like abstract paintings. Decorating with photography abstract photography: a vision. These Photo-Abstractions photographs represent some of my visual ideas. While working with conventional photographic equipment and materials, I wanted to create a nonrepresentational impression in the images, a feeling that they were not literal interpretations of their subjects as is usually done in photography, but how the subjects might be understood in more elemental terms of form and color. Although pictures such as these could be made by manipulating original photographs with an image editing computer program or even be produced solely on a computer, I use only optical and chemical methods to create my Photo-Abstractions. They are scanned and printed by a professional photographic laboratory using computer control, but with my strict instructions to the lab to match the optical originals as closely as possible so that no electronic manipulation of the image occurs.

Pinhole Photography Fine Art Photographers

Pinhole photography portfolio of photographer Thomas Hudson Reeve. The modern camera is a wonderful thing, but it s nice to remember how simple the mechanism can be. You can strip away the technology until there is little left but the abstraction on which the machine is based. A simple manipulation of space, a few materials, and a couple of hand tools and the magic physics is at your fingertips without sophisticated engineering. To simplify these cameras as much as possible I made them out of the 11x14 inch photo-paper itself. There is no film in the camera because the camera is the film. Like a salad bowl made of lettuce leaf, and consumed with the meal, the camera doesn t exist after its utility is fulfilled. There is no machine. It is more of an arrangement than a thing. Since it is color paper, sensitive to the full spectrum of visible light, there is no safe light recommended for darkroom work. Each paper box camera is cut, folded, and constructed in the dark and kept in a dark bag until its moment in the sun has come. The pinhole in the brass plate is all that is needed to project an image into the inside surface of the box more on that later , but light also seeps through the cracks and flaps of the box construction and soaks through the black tape that holds the whole thing together. The streaks and burns and flares that appear on the final image are the result of this ambient radiation and although it can be somewhat controlled, it also depends largely on random...

Bill Armstrong - photographs from the infinity series - New York

The on-going Infinity series is an extensive body of work that I have been photographing since 1997. It includes a wide range of portfolios, from figurative to abstract, that are made using my unique process of photographing collages extremely out of focus. The Infinity series is photo-collage made seamless by setting the camera s focusing ring at infinity. This sleight of hand allows me to conjure a mysterious tromp l oeil world that hovers between the real and the fantastic. It is a world just beyond our grasp, where place may be suggested, but is never defined, and where the identity of the amorphous figures remains in question. It is a world that might exist in memory, in dreams, or, perhaps, in a parallel universe yet unvisited. The nature of visual perception intrigues me: how the eye continually tries to resolve these images, but is unable to do so, and how that is unsettling. And I am drawn to the idea that we can believe something is real, while at the same time knowing it is illusory; that the experience of visual confusion, when the psyche is momentarily derailed, is what frees us to respond emotionally. At the same time, the subject of these collages is color. Extreme de-focusing enables me to blend and distill hues, creating rhapsodies of color that are meditative pieces--glimpses into a space of pure color, beyond our focus, beyond our ken.

Desnnis Mahlmeister - From The Edge of Reality - West Palm Beach, FL

Welcome to The Edge of Reality , the online home of Dennis Mahlmeister and Patricia Aviezer-Mahlmeister. We offer a wide range of services, from Graphic Design and Photography to Costuming and elegent hand crafted gifts. Please follow the links below to find out more about our services. I first fell in love with photography when my daughter was born. Picking up my first 35mm camera almost 30 years ago opened the doors to my imagination. Since then, countless shutter buttons have been depressed, capturing images of sunsets, tropical paradises, a child s smile, the curve of a body, water tumbling down a cliff and much more than can be mentioned here. Capturing the moment, playing in the light and shadows, this is what photography is to me. From landscapes to product to modelling portfolios, we can help you capture not only the moment, but an unforgettable image as well.
