My Conversation with Nature
My Conversation with Nature
As a photographer I change reality by my choice of what I choose to photograph.
From the moment I began to study it was apparent to me that I must question the supposed truth of a photographic image. What happened before or after the image was taken? How much manipulation occurred in the printing stage? We take out of photos and put in- we change reality.
In my conversation with nature, I use the elements that are present. The lines, the shapes, whatever she presents. I do not remove. Nature is my blank canvas. We collaborate. My conversation takes place on the image only after I take the photograph. I do not change the environment. I do not leave an imprint. The photograph is my conversation with nature.
By imposing colour, reality is delicately shifted. I am presently interested in the balance between natural and artificial.
