Artist Profile: Jim Moorehead, Photographer
My artistic vision is best conveyed through the photographic image; the goal being that the image speaks directly to the viewer, preferably without the use of language, written or spoken. Success varies as I move toward my ideal.
Since I was a child, I’ve looked at the world through a viewfinder, sometimes figuratively, sometimes literally, trying to capture on film or digital memory, that image that best records my impression of a scene, experience, person, whatever. I’ve traveled extensively and like to think that I’ve collected a record of my life with the camera.
Although the methods and equipment have changed radically from my first Brownie Hawkeye with its paper-encased roll film to the Canon digital SLR, my artistic skills are inherent, not tech dependent. The camera, printer, and website are merely tools of my art.
