Artist Interview CJ Rider – BTA in Fall
BTA in Fall Interview Interview Q: While this is a photograph, I love your paintings as well, which method do you prefer photography or painting? My artwork is so intertwined that I find it difficult to choose one over the other. The thing is, if I am not painting in the field or from life, I use my photos to paint from. I do love to paint and it has a high level of satisfaction, however there is also nothing like looking at a disk of photos for the first time after an outing! When you comb through them and find that one little gem of a shot (well, hopefully it’s more than one) that you know has a special “wow” factor; – well, I think we all know how great … Read entire article »

Photographer Interview Dustin DeBoer
Read all SOT Interviews Interview Q: It seems you are very passionate about helping people to “Reflect, Relax, and Rejuvenate” through your photography, has this always been a passion or did a significant event in your own life encourage and motivate you to enter this journey? While there have been a number of events in my life that propelled me in that direction, it has always been the mission of my life and photography. Both of them are meant to not be just about me.

Contest Landscapes Vol 1 Issue 3
Congratulations to our Contest Winner Andrei Shliakhau on Fine Art America. Interview Q: In the fifteen years of photography as a hobby when did you realize it would lead to more? When I moved to the US four years ago (2005) I became friends with several nature photographers. I was very surprised to learn that they not only enjoyed their hobby of photography, but also were able to sell their work. It was almost impossible for me to do this back in Russia and Belarus due to harsh laws and government regulations for private businesses. The US is a country of many possibilities and opportunities. So when I received my first big order – 7 large format mounted and framed photographs – I realized that this is … Read entire article »

1st Place Photographed Landscapes Vol 1 Issue 2
Interview Q: What were your initial studies in Atlanta? In addition to photography my interests were early childhood education and geology. Actually my range of studies was quite broad as so many subjects held such great interests for me. Q: Do you see your marked interest in Photography leading to places other than Texas in the future? Definitely! Although Texas is my favorite location ( such diversity in one state), there are obviously many more areas that capture my attention. In the future I would very much like to focus on the American Southwest. Q: What location on this vast earth would you want to shoot more than any other? I have always had a desire to visit Australia. It would be a fantastic place to photograph. Q: How long have you wanted to travel there? Since childhood. … Read entire article »
