Photography By Terri Harper

Transformation

Abstractions in a Digital World


I created this digital painting (also known as a photo montage) by incorporating elements from two different photos and electronically painting in the rest. It was a very intuitive process. I was very pleased with the way it turned out. I also discovered some things about myself. One of them was that I really miss the hands on activity of painting on a real canvas. I have added another item to my 'to do' list and that is to do a new painting soon. It very well might be a painted version of this image.
I also intend to put this version on a big canvas through the Giclee process, which is printing a photo on canvas and then embellishing by painting clear acrylic gloss medium on with a real paintbrush. (Not with a virtual paintbrush)

Photographing Still Lifes

"Pears, A Still Life"


Still Life, a pictorial representation of inanimate objects. The term derives from the 17th-century Dutch still-leven, meaning a motionless natural object or objects.
Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia

A still life is a work of art depicting inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace objects which may be either natural (food, plants and natural substances like rocks) or man-made (drinking glasses, cigarettes, pipes, hotdogs and so on) in an artificial setting. Popular in Western art since the 17th century, still life paintings give the artist more leeway in the arrangement of design elements within a composition than do paintings of other types of subjects such as landscape or portraiture.
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Something as simple as three pears arranged in a pleasing composition becomes an artistic still life. I thought this was enhanced by being rendered in black and white with one pear in color.

I like still lifes because they are a great way to study form, texture, composition and light. This is an exciting way to master the elements of design which I believe is essential to becoming an accomplished artist.

And last but not least, inanimate objects don't get impatient with you if you take too long to compose a picture and you don't have to tell them to smile or worry about them closing their eyes!

FLOWERS

Bud and Bloom


Among the many subjects I love to photograph, flowers are some of my favorite. Of course roses are the subject of many an artist throughout the ages, they are a timeless perennial. This lovely pink beauty surely fits that description! But I need to say that I love many flowers not just roses. There are so many beautiful flowers of all colors, shapes and sizes and it would be very difficult for me to pick a favorite.

Magnolia

Rendered with a watercolor effect.


I wanted this photo of a magnolia to look more like a painting. The watercolor effect I chose, gave it the exact look I wanted to convey. I like the backlighting on the upper half of the petals. Backlighting is a lighting quality that I use often. In this instance it really helps keep the petals from blending in and adds more dimension to them.

Painted Red Tulip

A Masterpiece of Nature


This flower was looking more like a classical floral so I chose a fresco look to convey what it represented to me. Tulips have such neat designs inside of them, I find them very intriguing.

BRIDGES

Mackinac Bridge Fantasy


This image of the Mackinac Bridge is a digitally painted photograph. Sometimes I like to make a pictorial presentation with a little bit of a twist. I've seen many pictures of this bridge but never one quite like this. I also have this image available in black and white.

LIGHTHOUSES

Old Mackinac Point Light


I've always been fascinated with lighthouses. In the past few years, I have photographed several great lakes lighthouses. Mackinac City is a very picturesque place to visit.

Seagull at Sunset

Lake Erie Islands Sunset


This picture allows me relive the serenity that I felt when I captured it. It was taken from Catawba Island looking toward Port Clinton. If you have never been to The Lake Erie Islands, they are a great place for a little getaway.

Rock and Roll Kiss
