Fashion, Glamour Photography Shoot in Texas, Prague, London and Venice
Creating interesting portraiture that has an evocative, glamorous or edgy quality is such a joy for me. Here are some photographs that I absolutely love. They have been created at several different locations in Texas and Europe.
I classify my style of photography as being fashion-inspired and cinematic in its lighting and styling. To create my look, I most often use studio strobes to create the light that I have envisioned for the image.
Another characteristic of my style is that images most often shot on location. I love the challenge of capturing the color, and feel of somewhere which becomes a major element in the final image.
We are in a time when the smartphone and AI has "made everyone a photographer". But are they an artist? I continue to consider my feeling about this question. I can say that I do find some, perhaps even many, creations which have used AI to one extent or another, to be art, and artful. Which I can consider as mixed medium. Whether I can consider the creator of said art to be an artist, is very much up in the art for me.

It also refers to the triangular area of Venice where the Grand Canal meets the Giudecca Canal,and its collection of buildings: Santa Maria della Salute, Patriarchal Seminary, and Dogana da Mar at the triangle's tip. Across the canal is seen the Campanile di San Marco in St. Mark's Square.
