Different Genre


Different Genre
Every now and then I like to change genre –move into an area that is totally alien to my normal shooting mode.  I think all photographers would like to use paints rather than their familiar digital or film medium.  I once attempted to work with watercolor and discovered I did not have the patience to learn or spend the time working the medium.  I envy the painter, who although similar in his method of seeing has much more freedom in creating in paint what he sees, while the photographer is confined to the application of what he sees using various mechanical processes.  However, in an effort to change genre I attempted to apply my understanding of forms and light through abstract manipulation using the digital software process.  The images below were created in Photoshop and the Painter 4 essentials software.  The first three images are collages of two different images, with the fourth and fifth image created solely in Painter 4 from a still lifes I created.
