GALLERY OF WORKS
Galleries (1-6) at this time contain
exotic photographs of Peru, and Gallery (7) Color studio
and location images, Gallery (8) contains photographs of
the "Junkanoo" celebration in the Bahamas. In
the near future the galleries will also contain photography
of other places in South America, Latin America, and Portugal.
"INTO THE LIGHT, Faces of Peru"
Galleries 1-6, For me these photographs represent
more than just the exotic beauty of Peru. I see them as
having historical and anthropological value of indian culture
in Peru. I did not make them with that intention, but rather
I looked at it as a purely artistic undertaking (a self
assignment). Art is not only just about pretty pictures.
However you choose to look at these photographs I hope they
give you as much pleasure as the have given me.
"Colors of the Heart" in Gallery
7, is work that is more closely connected to my work
day life as a commercial photographer. It's what most often
pays the bills.
"Junkanoo" in Gallery 8,
is a recent addition and is a small edit of (1) evenings
photography during a celebration known as "Junkanoo"
that takes place on the islands of the Bahamas. The photographs
in this gallery were made made on the island of New Providence,
in the city of Nassua.
What I have tried to do with each of the photographic images
captured by my camera is to not merely record, but rather
through the photographic process of careful exposure, development,
and finally the mastering of the finished Fine Art Print
render the emotion of the moment as I felt it. For me producing
a fine print that expresses my feeling about the subject
will always far out weigh what ever value the photograph
might have as a historical or journalistic document. Yet,
they are documents, of places, landscapes and people that
will not much longer remain as they are.
I would encourage visitors to this site to return often
as I intend to rotate other photographs from my collection
into the galleries on a regular basis. In the near future
I will also be adding other galleries about Portugal, other
places I have a great affinity for.
In the meantime I sincerely hope you enjoy what you see
here, and if you feel so inclined, please make a purchase.
The proceeds from this site are what allow me to keep doing
this work and documenting ways of life that is rapidly changing.
The Black & White photographs are presented here in
Warm Tone Platinum, my personal favorite, but if you prefer,
they are all also available in Neutral Tone as well. Please
see elsewhere on this site for a comparison.
All prints are signed and produced from high resolution
digital scans of camera film. Prints are produced on Archival
Quality Matt Paper, using the finest carbon pigment and
or pigment based inks. Please see "ORDER DETAILS"
for more information.
Enjoy,
David P. Fleurant
