Found CommZoe by: reference from photographer or model
Business here: a photographer
Experience: Fine art nude and landscape photographer who has been seriously active for a little over 4 years now. I am represented by an art gallery in Florida and have exhibited my work in Canada. Collectors from five countries own some of my prints.
Interests & Passions:
Other: My photography is the product of a mind fascinated by the female figure, awed by the qualities of light and full of curiousity. I expend a lot of my creative energy doing fine art nudes. I love the American southwest. While in the desert I don't have to be create, just chronical the natural beauty.
Most of my fine art nude photography has African American women as the subject. I am attracted to the wide variety of skin tones from woman to woman - even those exhibited by the same woman. I think we have missed something in 20th Century art by clinging to blond and blue-eyed as the epitome of femine beauty. I see things differently. Uwe Ommer has shown us how lovely African women are. I am just carrying this message further. I don't visualize myself as changing the iconic form of femine beauty, but I will make a contribution towards our questioning it.
My respect for the qualities of light came out of spending 6 years as a lighting designer in Montreal for theatrical productions. I like working with natural light as much as possible. Something I learned to appreciate all the more while shooting landscapes in Arizona and Utah. The first time I photographed a model I used the natural light of my living room in Phoenix
I have a diverse set of interests. My other "occupation" is Consulting Eningeer. Which puts me in a rather unique position. I can do what I like in photography as I am free of the constraint of having to work at it for a living. It leaves me free to express my artisitic vision without really having to care how anyone else feels about it. That also frees me from the fears that come with the necessity of public acceptance. Does this mean that your criticism or comments about my work are meaningless to me? No. I am always interested in what others think about my work - especially other photographers and models. In this way I learn more about myself and the way people interpret my images.
