Profile : Tom Knieser, Photographer
Using the term "PhotoGraphics" to describe his images, Tom wants to help us to see things in a new way, slightly different - "Who says there is only one way to see the world? Our vision is limited to the visible spectrum of light and maybe things would look differently through a variety of filters".
PhotoGraphics begin with a digital image that captures the light of an instant in space-time. That photo is enhanced, filtered and layered until a new image and a new vision emerges. I revisited photography during the long, cold and beautiful winter of 2003. I took my camera and my Jimmy and began to explore the Hudson Valley with it's brooding bridges, historic buildings and glacial mountains. After downloading the images into my computer, I accessed PhotoShop Elements and began to play. The images took on news shapes and colors until they either amplified or distorted the reality. ¶ 1:28 AM
