An interesting Canadian-American artist — Jennifer McChristian. I like how she finds and uses contrast and colors. During my last vacation, I took my DSLR with me (I’m gradually posting photos from the Czech Republic and Germany). In Europe, there are a lot more contrasting colors in everything, more than I see in the USA. I don’t know why this happened. One of the skills of an artist (a skill that I’m also trying to develop in myself) is to notice such contrasting scenes in life, and if they are not there but are needed, to be able to slightly embellish reality by overlaying a kind of filter where the colors become brighter and the contrast stronger. In some ways, this resembles HDR, only done in the mind (by the way, have you noticed that in the last five years at least, there’s been no talk about HDR photography at all?)
