Competition: (Zoom) Theme – Motion with Judge Deborah Loeb Bohren

The offspring of two photographers, I’m convinced my passion for photography is imprinted on my DNA and I can’t remember when photography wasn’t a part of my life.

For me, the essence of photography is the art and science of painting with light. I wield my camera like a paintbrush and think of my work as visual alchemy: the transformation not of matter into gold but rather of light, color and line into images. Minimalism, abstraction, multiple exposure and ICM are essential tools of my alchemy. These work in ways that are simultaneously controllable and unpredictable, allowing me to challenge reality and capture a feeling or impression rather than the reality of what lies in front of my lens. Patience, experimentation and the benevolence of the photography gods are also integral to my work.

My work is part of individual and corporate collections, including the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and has been exhibited across the US and internationally at New York’s Soho Photo Gallery, the Sohn and Cousen Rose galleries in Massachusetts, and at the Horsebridge Arts Centre in Whitstable, Kent, among others.
