Lori Sarver

Art is subjective. It is your perspective, how you seize or interpret. Messy, clean, colorful, or black-and-white. Graceful in its unbiased nature, Art is Art.

For me, a photograph must evoke feelings. It must be layered to tell a story that is different for each who sees it. Connections develop by removing unwarranted space, allowing trust to set in, which is why I stand close to whomever I photograph. When energy enters, the story unfolds.

Using digital and analog formats while seeking texture lighting elements, my monochromatic style blends fine art and portraiture. I strive for my work to convey emotion while mindfully approaching each composition with the utmost creative respect, understanding that our stories are ever-changing, whether we are all different or all the same.

Pictures are mysterious in darkness yet timeless when lacking color. My intentional use of grainy shadows and highlights artfully reflects that life is an ageless novel in which we must believe our dreams and create.

We are all Wonders of the World. Let us come together and journal.
