Piece description from the artist
Location: Jupiter Island, Florida 2019
While photographing the landscape at Blowing Rocks Natural Preserve, I came across a Little Blue Heron. As I looked for compositions, he kept sneaking into my frame. I thought to myself, "This bird sure loves attention." So after securing some images of this surreal landscape, I focused my lens on this lively feathered fellow. I named him "Hotshot" after watching him walk around with measured confidence.
I decided to go black and white with this image for two reasons. First, Hotshot's stance created a dynamic shape that I felt needed full attention. Second, I wanted to focus on contrast to help the eyes focus on the details.
*Composite photo: I like to associate my bird photography with clouds, so I often use interesting skies I photograph to composite a more pleasing image.
Hi, I am San Herman López, but you can call me San or Sanzei. Currently, I reside in the breathtaking state of Washington. My journey through art began when I was just a child, and it has been a constant source of inspiration and growth for me.
Around 2015, I made a decision that would shape my creative path profoundly: I decided to dive headfirst into honing my photography skills. Little did I know just how transformative this decision would be.
Photography has become my sanctuary, a meditative practice that allows me to find solace and meaning in the world around me. It is not just about capturing images; it's about delving into the essence of existence, about seizing those fleeting moments that often go unnoticed.
My camera has become an extension of myself, a tool for personal growth, and a means to express how I see the world. Every click of the shutter is a step further into the intricate tapestry of existence, a testament to my unceasing journey of artistic and personal enlightenment.
I invite you to join me on this visual voyage as I continue to explore our world. I hope to inspire others to embark on a journey of discovery, to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, and to appreciate the timeless dance within the canvas of reality.
