The pieces I release are never straight from the camera, nor has this ever been the case with any of the greats. Ansel Adams began the process of creating images before the shutter was released with lens filters and lens choices, and long after the shutter was released with dark room hacks and techniques. While most of the post process manipulation now takes place on the computer, photographers have always created photographic based art. Images are manipulated in many different ways. Optical Sensations employs methods that were developed over a century ago and have been evolving since. These methods often involve removing colors, altering the lighting, or stacking photographs of different exposures. I strive to create in different styles, ranging from classical styled black and white to colorful surreal images to enhance your everyday spaces, whether business or home.
