So we managed to hit up a whole bunch of places in 2010 ... & so far in 2011 we've headed to the wonderful city of Boulder, Colorado to check out the pretty pretty of Shannon Blue Photography (yes we are only 1 week into 2011 so gives us a chance ... it was an exhausting Christmas). & now ... finally we are heading south ... virtually in mexico south ... to San Antonio, Texas to check out the inspirational work of K.Clark Photography. As i took a look around Kimberley's shop i'm drawn to her atmospheric images & instantly all in love with her use of shadow & light. The black & white's though out her shop are full of emotion, & feeling, reminders of film noir & old school hollywood. Throw in a little romance & you can imagine the stories that go alongside.
I can't imagine the time Kimberley spends scouting out her locations, exploring them until she understands when that perfect moment is going to occur ... the light falling in such a way as to capture that one perfect moment in time. I can almost see her wandering the streets with an old Rolflex in hand inspired by the street photographers of years gone by. I see so much tradition in her work, simple stunning photography that speaks for itself & could happily survive without the intervention of digital technology.
from the beginning of a horror movie or a tale of aliens ...
... to the moment when we first glimpse the face of our heroine ...
... & yes a a tom & jerry cartoon!
Great read and beautiful, atmospheric images!
