PHOTOGRAPHY ART BY DESIGN

"Signal Cove - A Florida Sunset"

Elizabeth Goehringer, Copyright 2006

Photography art can be as simple as a quick shot of nothing important. More often, however, artistic photography is crafted by the photographer or graphic artist.

HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY

Early in its development photographers began to pose portraits so that the viewer would see the photograph as art.

Photographers such as Ansel Adams introduced photography art into the natural world of soaring mountains and flowing streams, of misty clouds and mirrored lakes. Cottages and castles, skyscrapers and barns - all are fodder for artistic photography.

We invite you to journey with us as we explore the why, the how-to and the history of photography.

PHOTOSHOP TIPS

My personal passion is the collage, an artistic compilation of several photographs. An offshoot of the collage are our Storybooks, sequential collages commemorating a wedding, event or the life of a person. I'll share how I create collages through Photoshop tips.

THE TRAVELING PHOTOGRAPHER


Join us as we seek and find artistic photography on our travels. At times we will graphically enhance a photo and may even turn it into a painting. We will occasionally share Photoshop Tips with you by describing how we've made the graphic enhancement.

We will bring you with us photographically through our pictures of England from London south to Cornwall; New England and especially Cape Cod where I lived for 19 years; Florida where we've lived since 2003. Other countries, cruises and states will be featured in our Traveling Photographer pages. Included will also be travel information, some history of the location, and links to other informative sites.

GOD'S ART: the Master Creator


Some of our favorite photographs are sunsets. We are constantly amazed at the beauty and diversity of the evening light show splashed across the shadowed sky in vivid shades of pink and red and orange.

We hope you will spend a few minutes reflecting with us on God's art, the paintbrush of the Master Creator.

We fully expect this study of photography as art to influence our own perception and execution of artistic photography. We hope it will do the same for you.

Joyfully,
