I like creating levels of ambiguity in my photographs so that the viewer may be uncertain about the subject or even the medium itself – they often mistake the images for pastel drawings or paintings. However, my photographs are produced from digital- or film-based camera files, which have not been computer manipulated to produce any kind of drawing or painting effect. In fact, I’ve never seen drawings or paintings that display the extremely smooth and transparent blends of color you see in many of my photographs where background objects can be seen through foreground content, a visual texture that adds depth and interest. My fine art photographs represent a technique and visual vocabulary I’ve been developing for over 30 years. I started out learning the formal rules and techniques of the medium, which I’ve continued to apply to a wide variety of commercial photographic assignments over the years. In the 80’s, I began experimenting with using my camera in ways I was taught not to use a camera. The knowledge and practice of traditional photography techniques became a foundation for creating a new form of fine art photography. Years ago I asked the question – why not? Ever since, I’ve been exploring the medium to push the perceived boundary of what a photograph can be. © 2004 -- 2010 Marc Fagan.
