Katherine Liepe - Levinson, a Fine Art Photographer, was a guest speaker at my photography seminar class. Her work features images of single exposure digital photography with no photoshop. Only basic lightroom adjustments. To adjust the contrast and even lower the saturation. She likes to be known as a pure photographer.
Her work features:
Water works
In the woods
New York, New York
Hampton's up close
and other great works.
Her background includes professional dancer, actor, author and educator.
Her life story captured my attention. After years as a professional dancer she was injured and unable to dance. Where most people would have given up she decided to go back to school. Something I can relate to. She received her PHD in theater from New York City's Cuny Graduate Center.
She gave us a brief intro to the business side of Fine Art Photography. How to present your work to a gallery. How to stand out from the rest. To be fully prepared with a portfolio of your work. If one gallery doesn't appreciate your work, other's will.
She also showed us a series of her work. It featured photos of a pond with water reflections and New York City window reflections. I loved the water reflection photos. I would have never of thought of taking photos in that matter. The colors, the shapes, the water ripples the turtle and fishes just made the images unique and amazing. I decided to put her work to the test. I went out and photographed some water reflections myself. I have to say, I really enjoyed it. It was different yet fun. Of course my photos don't even compare to her work. I still have so much to learn but enjoying every minute of it.
I really like the reflection of the people in the second picture!! Very original!!
