artists' statement

A R T I S T S T A T E M E N T ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ There are usually just a few moments when all the visual elements come together. Anticipating these critical events are essential to make the image MORE than just another landscape. Specializing in fine art nature images with dramatic natural light, my images are made on large format, 4x5 inch film. From these, each carefully selected color image is printed on Fuji Crystal Archive print material for permanence and color brilliance. Black and White prints are Gelatin/Silver, fiber based in nature using an archival process. Finally, B&W prints are then treated in a selenium and gold bath to increase tonal depth and further increase permanence. Other “prints” are made on Glass and backed in gold metallic. These “GOLDTONES” represent work that has not been regularly done for almost 100 years. For seven years now I have also searched for the Grand Landscape via painting. This gives me a unique perspective in that I can “see” images in many different ways. I have even had articles published on this idea in a national publication. I have had the honor of searching the North American landscape for moments in time which express the essence of the natural world. Certainly I have experienced many more “moments” than I could ever record. However, the ability to respond to most of these natural events is a skill learned over time. What is required? A precise, experienced, understanding of light and its various effects on the landscape. Many, in today’s fast paced society “look” at many things but in reality we “see” very little. The fine art nature photographer must slow to learn the rhythm's of Nature and learn her language. The process of using the large format view camera is, by its very nature, slow and so aids in the critical”seeing” of the natural world.................Be aware that most other "Photography" sold today is not really photography in the conventional sense but "digital imagery" which are essentially digital images printed by inkjet printer machines. All of my images are NOT printed this way. For more info email me .............................JERRY SIEVE
