Forging Meaningful Connections in the World of Art

Forging Meaningful Connections in the World of Art

Making Connections

Achieving representation in a saturated art market can be very difficult, and many photographers are left wondering how to get recognized in the tactile world of art, outside of the digital world of social media. To gain some insight on this, I recently had the pleasure of sitting down and asking some tough questions of two wonderful women who are forces in the art world: one an art gallery owner, the other a healthcare and corporate art consultant, both talented artists in their own right. Having worked with both for many years, I didn’t expect to learn as much as I did from this enlightening conversation, but I certainly was wrong!

The Slow Approach

Every time I look at nature, whether it’s flowers in my backyard, a crescent moon in the sky, or old images on my hard drive, it reminds me that despite the global pandemic, Mother Nature soldiers on, and this is just a season we’re in. I find it strangely reassuring that our collective increased awareness of COVID-19 really ramped up and took off during the earth’s transition from winter, a season of dormancy, to the vernal equinox, the very season of rebirth and renewal.

Photographing forests, woodlands, and trees is an exercise in patience, sorting through the compositional chaos of nature. It is, however, also massively gratifying when executed well. Enjoy the process and the journey, and allow yourself to embrace imperfections! Permit yourself freedom from iconic, grand vistas, and slow down long enough to revel in minute details of lesser known places.

Capturing Context

Have you ever read a fictional story that resonated with you so deeply that it inspired you to travel somewhere? A story that inspired new adventures, that made you go capture images of a place that you might never otherwise have visited? After reading “The Lewis Trilogy” by Scottish author Peter May, many years ago, I knew that I would embark on such a journey.
