Portrait or Personal Image - Deborah  Sandidge

Artist's Statement
I think of my photography as an opportunity to share things we encounter every day in a graphic, vibrant, and creative manner. I enjoy bold contrasts and rely on the warmth of natural lighting to emphasize color, shape, detail, and to accentuate character in an image. Creating silhouettes with strong lines and color is one of my favorite ways of allowing others to connect with the subject. I feel that silhouettes intrigue and leave something to be imagined by the viewer. It’s my desire to present a view that is fresh and vivid, through multiple exposures and layered images, as well as creative work aided by the digital darkroom. I am most inspired by what I see in nature’s endless and changing opportunities. I hope to evoke a response that allows one to have a greater appreciation for the distinctive beauty in nature - which is the motivation behind my photography.
