I capture the images in color, as I believe, color adds a strong emotional dimension to the landscape. At the same time, color can be overused to the extent that it can ruin the overall statement that the image wants to convey. I approach making a photograph similar to a symphony conductor trying to orchestrate different instruments to create a harmonious piece. In the case of a photograph, these elements are line, form, texture, luminosity, color hue and saturation: a successful photograph, in my opinion, is a perfect fusion of these elements.
Most of the photographs in this series were taken with a 4”x5” large-format camera and printed with UltraChrome pigmented ink on Epson Premium Luster Photo paper. The longevity of these photographs, rated by Wilhelm Imaging Research, is over 70 years under ordinary glass and over 150 years under uv-protected glass. These photographs are available in different sizes ranging from 8”x10” to 40”x50”.
