imaging through the art of color
Artist Statement
Seth Coad-Douglass
When I was five, my mother, who is also a photographer, gave me my first point and
shoot camera. Although I took a lot of pictures, I didn’t begin to intentionally
consider my subjects until a trip to Kauai when I was 14. We visited Na Aina Nai
(Lands by the Sea), a magnificent botanical and natural sculpture garden, and, there,
I began to choose the images I wanted to capture. I became fascinated with the spirit
of place, and the photographs in this exhibit reflect that fascination. I use High
Dynamic Range (HDR) and color manipulation software to enhance the details that
the camera (and human eye) can’t always capture. Using my images and these tools,
I can produce a picture, which, while retaining the scene, presents an opportunity to
see beyond the confines of the camera.
As classical vocalist, I discover my voice in the structure and discipline, the beauty,
of the music created by others. As a photographer, I have the freedom to create my
own “ voice.” I want to draw you into my images, to establish a dynamic that pulls
you into the photograph so that you can experience your own connection. It is my
hope that the image will linger in your mind long after you have left the exhibit.
