Portrait or Personal Image - Heather L Jacks

My photographs are ultimately an expression of the way I view the world. I have always been acutely conscious of light, shadow, and the beauty of my surroundings. Shadows produced by the late day sun, along with simple objects and textures, inspire me to photograph. Whether a moody landscape, or a window side still life, I try to impart a sense of timelessness to my work. The use of selective focus via a plastic lens, or the addition of textures and tones to my photographs is an integral part of the creative process for me. These additions allow me to complete my vision for a particular image.
