Waves of light

Waves of Light

Piece description from the artist

The piece, Waves of Light was the first in a series titled, Seven Days. Over the course of seven days, MATT TTAM took over 900 photographs, trying to perfect this piece. Most believe this is a painting, however it was done entirely "in camera" with no Photoshop trickery. It takes incredibly steady hands to pull this off.
Fun fact: The shot was done at first light, while masses of baby sea turtles hatched on the beach below.

“We’ve all had our senses remind us of past travels, places, and memories. This is a simplified version of that. Most of us that have seen the ocean at sunrise or sunset have intense feelings and a longing to revisit that same time and space again.” – MATT TTAM

About Matt Blum

Dallas, TX

MATT TTAM is an American photographer whose pieces have been exhibited nationally and featured in publications such as USA Today, Playboy, and Esquire. He believes that the key to any good photograph is the story behind it. Within his art, he explores and expands the limits of classic photography. The relationship between photography and location plays an important role in all of TTAM’s work. Using various techniques (often movement and exposure time), objects in his pieces can appear abstract and bizarre. Thereby the object loses its function as a “memory aid”, blurring the definition and limitations of the medium.
While TTAM provides clues to the location and subject matter of his compositions, he doesn't give additional details, preferring the viewer to form their own narrative.
