Artist Entry #2 September 13, 2010

Artist--David Strohl

why-- David Strohl is a photographer that has created a body of work that I am particularly interested in called 'To drift Savannah'. In this body of work Strohl investigates the world around him, representing the people and places by way of environmental portraiture type photography. I am mainly interested in how Strohl takes his images a step above snapshots, and a step below staged portraits. I very much enjoy the ease and truth behind the faces he chooses to photograph. I am at a point in my new body of work that requires me to decide weather I will be continuing the series mainly at night or during the day looking at photographers like Strohl gives me an opportunity to investigate the detail he achieves while shooting mainly in the day time.

Bio-- David Strohl describes him self as an artist, photographer, and educator located in the savanah area. His work can be found on numerous blogs around the web comuity. He is also represented by Sanderson Hawkins Reps, LLC. (1)

2 Quotes -
Strohl says in his artist statemene:
"Through repeated exploration, there has become apparent a rich and complex network of relationships between inhabitants and their surroundings. Much has been revealed about our personal identities and the choices that we make, as much as the broader scope of the work is linked to the nature of how all people attempt to define themselves."

He goes on to mention somehting extreamily important in my work saying:
"Hopefully, these observations lead to more questions and explorations about the nature of society"
