“BEAUTIFUL LIGHT AND COMPOSITION IS WHAT INSPIRES MY CREATIVE WORK. MY APPROACH TO PHOTOGRAPHY IS FINDING THE PERFECT LIGHT TO FRAME A SCENE TO TELL A UNIQUE NARRATIVE.
I HAVE LIVED IN THE BAY AREA FOR MOST OF MY LIFE, BUT I WAS BORN IN FRANCE AND LIVED ABROAD IN ASIA AND AFRICA AS A CHILD. THIS EARLY EXPOSURE TO DIVERSE CULTURES, LANGUAGE AND LANDSCAPES INSTILLED MY CONTINUAL SENSE OF WANDERLUST, AND WAS MY INSPIRATION TO BECOME A PHOTOGRAPHER. NOT ONLY DO I TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS OF MY INTERNATIONAL TRAVELS, BUT ALSO OF LOCAL ATTRACTIONS THAT ARE MEANINGFUL TO ME. I TRY TO CREATE A STYLE THAT HAS AN ALMOST SURREAL, PAINTING-LIKE QUALITY TO MY PHOTOGRAPHS AS I PLAY WITH LIGHT, COLOR AND SCALE TO REVEAL MORE THAN JUST A PHOTOGRAPH. ONE OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES IS, “TRAVEL OPENS YOUR HEART, BROADENS YOUR MIND AND FILLS YOUR LIFE WITH STORIES TO TELL,” PAULA BENDFELDT”
