Artist Statement
Susan G. Hammond - Contemporary Photographer
Artist Statement:
Photography has been my passion for over 30 years. While using my camera to capture each image I am totally absorbed in my creative process. I strive to capture a wide variety of images because of the variety my emotions, spirituality and my obsessive personality. Using the ability of visualization enables me to interpret all of my ideas into reality.
I am compelled to capture the obscurity and drama of natural light. Early morning and dusk are my favorite times to photograph. I enjoyed working in the darkroom, but have conformed to the use of digital cameras and Photoshop. I prefer working with black and white images rather than emphasizing color, as I desire capturing and creating moods, emotions, depth and metaphors. I strive to work on open ended series of work, and will continue my quest to be a part of the contemporary art world.
