Photographer as Alchemist: Transforming Non-precious Metals into Gold
When we closely examine our quotidian life, we can find gold shimmering in the most unlikely of places. Photograph the gold that sparkles and catches your eye and share your new found wealth with a world that might just be blind to such treasure buried in plain sight.
Great and daunting news! I'M A FINALIST in the Prix Mobile: Art Prize and Exhibition! For the final part of the contest, I have a personal and unique challenge to respond to: "Photographer as Alchemist". As a photographer I can transform the most mundane things into precious and worth remembering moments! This is how I'll remember these sweet rainy days of autumn in Boston.
One of the most important ingredients for a photographer as an alchemist is SUNLIGHT! You just have to be there, ready to capture the moment sunlight hits the most ordinary of subjects and you'll witness its transformation into gold! This is my second submission to the challenge "Photographer as Alchemist" from @prixmobile!
