SPOTLIGHT ON MARK MOSKVITCH (Sydney Australia) with my compliments by Alateia

MARK MOSKVITCH IN HDR

Einstein once said “Joy in looking and comprehending is nature’s most beautiful gift”. I think that the camera does the looking while the photographer does the comprehension of the image; a comprehension of their own feelings toward this matrix of light that they capture, and more importantly, a second-guessing of the comprehension brought to an image by the alternative viewer.

In accepting the law of physics that says we do not see anything at all, just the light reflected from it, the photographer is given license to create reality to some extent. Reality as it is in the case of photojournalism, or reality as they would wish to portray it in the case of fine art photography.

Thus much of my work is built upon the high dynamic range (HDR) technique of capturing light as it dances before my lens. A technique purported to provide an image more similar to that seen by the human eye as opposed to the lens.

I am free then to experiment with the light colours and tones in a manner similar to a painter to create the reality I seek for an image, and a reality I think will have meaning to the viewer, mostly for reasons I will never know.

Therein for me, is the magic of photography and my reason for doing it.

I would like to share my appreciation for Marks’ work with you
take a look through his collection and look at how his perspective brings a charge to otherwise everyday subjects. This coupled with the tones and moods he arrives at through his understanding of HDR is what impresses me most about Marks’ work.
Bravo Mark!
I for one wish you a bright future through your lense, keep it coming!
