Actually more like Fine Art Light Painting Photography in true Harold Ross style.
A remarkable man with a great passion for the fine art of light painting. Above is only
two of his amazing photos, you can see more on his own blog
Where his passion started and what he's doing
"My passion for photography started when I was very young, while standing next to
my father in the darkroom. I
felt a sense of wonder as I watched his images magically
appear in the
developing tray. That is what I feel, even today, whenever I take the
time to really see what surrounds me.
I am inspired to share this sense of wonder with the viewers of my work
when I see
how the light can bring out the detail, richness, and beauty
of everyday objects.
I’ve been a full time photographer for over 30 years. For over 24 years,
virtually all
of my photographs have been made using the special
technique of light painting*.
This has given me the ability to show subjects
in a “different light”, so that viewers
can appreciate them in a new
and unexpected way. I’m intrigued by the way in which
my subjects take
on a sense of “hyper-reality”, brought on by the nature of unnatural
light.
I’m drawn to things that are rich in texture and surface quality, often
turning to
objects found in nature. I find that in combining these
natural objects with man-
made elements, I can further reveal their
innate beauty through juxtaposition.
The negative effects of time have often been addressed by artists and
writers. I’m
convinced, however, that beauty
isn’t necessarily diminished when something is
“past its prime”. In
fact, I feel that time imparts a certain beauty that wasn't there
before."
* Light painting requires working in a completely dark studio, opening
the camera for an extended period of time, and “painting” the light onto
the subject. This reveals greater shape, texture and color.
