Linda Lowry combines a background in art and photography from Moore
College of Art in Philadelphia with a passion for travel. The result
is not typical travelogue-style “postcard” photos, but is an attempt
to capture an emotional response to what is perceived as the essence
of a place or culture. Linda has been mainly photographing European
countries for the past 10 years. She says, “Instinctively and
creatively, photography is my way of connecting to the world and its
people”. Strong compositional skills and vivid color combine with
subject matter that includes “Old World” architecture, pastoral
countryside, cityscapes and vignettes of everyday life. For Linda,
the camera is just a tool and only the beginning of the total
process of producing a printed image. She says, “With Photoshop my
true creative side takes flight. If I feel it’s necessary, I can
make creative decisions on how to improve or strengthen a photo by
emphasizing a mood or making painterly enhancements with color
adjustments or filters. In this way I have more freedom and control
in achieving the results that I envision, which is a more artistic
representation of a photograph. The photos are printed with an Epson
printer using archival inks and papers, resulting in a fine art
piece that will last years longer than a traditional photograph.” |
