ABOUT CHRISTOPHER JAMES MORGAN
Christopher’s fine art work focuses on moving natural aesthetics towards a style that feel like illustration or painting. His creative influences are taken from the world around us; seascapes, the wilderness, landscapes, cityscapes, mountains, ruins are all subject matters that communicate his emotional expressions and pay tribute to the visual sense of time passing us all by. His unique style of creating art is based on meticulous process of digitally layering countless photographs together creating a single image that is rich in depth, color and detail. This digital prowess is combined with his never ending quest to master traditional photographic methods to elevate his images beyond existing as mere pictures. The result of the years of experimentation and training is a style of photography that propels the scenes and subject of his work into the spotlight so that people who happen upon it can’t help but stop and appreciate the beauty that they my have never noticed before.
ARTISTIC STATEMENT
My photographic style begins with the raw, untouched beauty of the natural world. My talent lies in transforming that same beauty by bending reality to create photographic art that is completely new and has never been seen.
I gain inspiration from the world we live in, where the most interesting things, at first glance, appear quite ordinary. However, upon closer inspection, turn out to be sublimely beautiful. My photographic subjects are in their element. They have abandon and expression that cannot be captured in a studio. This purity of the moment is what I strive to capture. I pay close attention to light and contrast. I am able to isolate subtle details not seen by the passing observation. I am not willing to settle for the ordinary remaining ordinary. I want to expand the beauty found in every moment.
Born and raised in For Lauderdale, Florida, I realized my true passion for photography in my high school years. I honed my talents at Lynn University, culminating in a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design, with a focus in photography. I currently exhibit my works in galleries and by invitation only exhibits.
