Energy of Light - Photography

My interest in exploring aspects of life that our eyes cannot readily see has led me to the depiction in art of the natural expressions of light, energy and time. There are objects and effects that are so microscopic or happen so fast that your eye and brain cannot detect or process them. Altering how you observe and document light results in capturing it in a way that the human eye cannot perceive it. Seeing it this way allows colors to come through in heightened vibrancy. We live in a moment in time where technology and artificial light is utterly prevalent. Our senses are constantly bombarded with quickly changing images.

This body of work involves slowing down life to the point that the camera can see what the eye cannot by focusing exclusively on the light, and in turn, through double refraction, capturing a specific time and moment when light has come to a complete stop.

Our naked eye cannot ever achieve this and there is a mystery that is associated with this movement. This series forces me to slow down and appreciate the beauty and dynamic patterns that happen with light. At that moment when all stands still, the pure energy is focused through the lens and onto the photograph.  My wish is for the viewer to travel through these pieces, appreciate the energy of light, and reflect.

These images were captured using iPhone 7 and have no editing other than cropping. The vibrant colors that you see are the true colors captured by the camera.
