Art Photography


Shop for art photography canvas and art prints direct from artist studio online below or in person at Koehler Art Studio Gallery. Artistic photography includes landscapes, nature, flowers and gardens. In my search for subjects to paint, I take many photos to use as reference in my studio. I could not possibly paint every beautiful view that I capture with my camera. Often these photos are exceptional in composition, light, color, detail and so full of drama to warrant the title of artistic compositions. I have included some of my favorites in this art photography gallery by artist

MY PHOTOGRAPHY


HANNE LORE KOEHLER:

My camera is an invaluable tool for my art. It is always within reach and allows me to capture a flash of movement, a fleeting moment of dramatic light, a simple facial expression.

When composing an action painting or portrait, I usually use a number of different photos as reference, combining elements that I like from each to create the composition that I'm looking for - the action from one photo, the facial expression from another, the lighting effect from a third, etc. Using today's technology makes planning a layout of a composition fun. I try different arrangements and combinations until I reach a desired effect and I catch myself smiling.

Just as life and technology have evolved over the past century, contemporary action art has also evolved, reflecting today's lifestyle and using today's technology. In my opinion, the artist with vision is the one who uses modern technology to his advantage. Even a traditional painter like me can take advantage of modern technology. Digital cameras make it feasible to take hundreds of photos of the same action and computer software can aid in combining different elements from different photos to create a layout of a composition to the artist's satisfaction. It is no longer necessary for artists to expect their subjects to pose for long, exhausting periods of time. With the aid of modern technology, today's artist can paint action-packed detailed images looking at a computer layout of photo combinations to produce contemporary realistic and action-packed paintings.

To be clear, I only use photographs as reference material for my original paintings, often producing detailed pencil drawings on the canvas before I paint. My snowboarding and skiing action paintings and action figure skating portraits are hand-painted original paintings done by looking at a photograph of the subject as if the subject were posing frozen in time in my studio. They are NOT painted over top of a mechanically reproduced photograph."
