Passions Collide – Abstract 5

This abstract photography based digital artwork, combines two of my artistic passions - 3D animation and photography. The base color scheme is from a photograph of an old worn out table that had several coats of mismatched paint on it in addition to several glued-on pieces of newsprint and other paper. The color information from that image was used to drive the size, color, and 3D spatial location of each rectangular object. The resulting 3D rendered image was then finished in Photoshop with many color tweaks, contrast adjustments and some other "magical" things. The image is best viewed on a large desktop monitor and is intended to be printed very large. Copyright 2017 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com

We will no longer sleepwalk through our life.”… Continue reading Contemplating Impermanence

Peeling Back the Layers

Peeling Back the Layers

“I wondered to what extent people remained the same as they’d been when very young; if one peeled back the layers of living one would come to know the child.” –Dick Francis

Don’t Follow the Crowd

Don't follow the crowd. Be different. Follow your own path. Think outside of the box. Be the black sheep. The list of cliches goes on and on and on. While the phrases are overused, the sentiment is true. Because if you want to stand out from everyone else, you've got to do something or be something a little unique. So for today I wanted to create some sort of minimalist abstract representation of that. Day 323 of my 365 photo a day project. Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com

Unzipping

I actually had a tough time coming up with something to say about this image beyond the title.  I called it “Unzipping” for obvious reasons.  And my goal in shooting it was very simple
