J. Heiden - New York (2014)

Le vide-grenier du dimanche. Deux clichés de la photographe américaine Jamie Heiden, dont je ne sais pas grand chose sinon qu'elle vit avec sa famille et sa petite ménagerie dans une ferme du Wisconsin.

Sur son site, ICI, elle évoque l'importance de son travail à l'ordinateur, et les multiples manipulations numériques auxquelles sont soumises ses photographies originales.

J. Heiden - Tree (2014)

I really do get the most satisfaction out of the beginning moment, the moment the shutter is released. From there utilizing tools on my computer; my virtual darkroom, I add layers of virtual images - sometimes creating a new reality but more often just showing a little slice of what I saw at that moment in time. It's the texture, color and depth that are my drivers. Simplicity is my inspiration, story is my goal.I love an open horizon or a lone tree, an abandoned house or an aged barn. It's this simplicity that more effectively sets the stage for narrative to begin inside the viewer's mind.

I hope my images start a story, make you stop and think of someone, someplace or sometime.
