The Artist's Lens
Photography & Dreamscape Collections
A photography collection is a grouping of my photos around a specific event, experience or theme; dreamscapes are tweaked and tripped out versions of specific photo collections. For example, my Hawaii photo shoot from 2000 was adapted as a dreamscape; the original photos are not available in this collection (though I have them in my database).
My goal with these collections is to tell a visual story over 40-50 pictures, to capture the essence of an experience and express its synthesis. In most collections, I captured hundreds of photographs and determined a specific set of the best to carry forward into a collection.
Photographs in the collections below are shot with my Nikon D3100 DSLR or Samsung Android and edited with Adobe Photoshop or Photo Studio Pro, unless otherwise specified. All photos were taken and edited by Artemis Sere.
