Piece description from the artist
One day back in the fall of 2015, there was so much color in the sky at sunset that I felt compelled to capture it. It was a day when I was feeling particularly happy and creative. I took this shot not far from my home. When I encountered the combination of shallow water and grass rising up from it, I was struck by how perfectly the elements created a surreal world; I’m heavily influenced by surrealism.
This image is a fan favorite and has been a centerpiece in my art show booth many times. It’s been amazing to see how reliably it triggers wonder and awe at its beauty in onlookers.
Chris Carr prides himself in always looking at things differently while viewing the world with a unique perspective. These traits were the driving force in his Puddle Reflections photo series. The series captures surreal landscapes from nothing more than reflections in puddles. Images which evoke the idea of two worlds, colliding in one image, all brought together from one small view.
His expectation for this series is for those who see it, to discover a new genre of photography. My images capture the world from a new perspective. A perspective that many of us never take the time to notice, one right below our feet. My photographs are taken in nature, are unedited and are not manipulated. The true beauty is that the images are raw visuals, unchanged, allowing anyone to find the same imagery in the world around them. Upon first glance, the images will elicit a particular feeling, time, or place; only to draw the viewer in further, with each tiny detail, realized.
