In most people’s mind photography has to be truthful to reality. It has to depict a scene, and atmosphere, and event accurately. But it's so much more than a simple tool to document our lives… It's also a way to express ourselves, our point of view, to share our messages. It's art that can be abstract and minimalistic. It allows us to change what we see based on our emotions and intent.

Long exposure photography embraces that, transforming reality into a dialogue. By stretching the time used to capture a single image, the photographer includes movement in their art: water becomes smooth, clouds create long silky streaks, trees blur out in the wind... the effects are endless. Long exposure is a different mindset. One that comes from within and uses what is out there in order to produce unique and breathtaking images. Images that go beyond documenting and bridge into the Fine Arts.
