I shoot film and digital both\, with a gen eral preference for landscape and abstract compositions\, but I am very fl uid with my choices of lenses and apertures and focal lengths – and my poo r spine is truly making me pay for lugging all this gear up mountains and into woods. Currently\, I am on a deep dive into infrared photography\, as I am fascinated with the effects of blending various spectra and capturin g light unseeable by the human eye. I am fully self-taught\, but my gradua te education and current work in electron microscopy have provided me with a strong technical and theoretical background on the optics and image pro cessing aspects of the craft. I have joined and am now running a small but growing online community of photographers focused on discussion\, mentors hip\, and critique. I have truly launched myself into this art with unbrid led enthusiasm and curiosity! You can find my work on Instagram\, @panovan ator.\nPhilosophy: To me\, the success of an image lies in the efficacy wi th which it relays the artist’s message. I first focus on the effect of th e image as a whole\, be it emotional or cognitive\, and then proceed to di still the contributions of the visual elements – color\, composition\, ton e\, subject… – to the intended (or resultant) response to the piece. I bel ieve that all creative efforts are valid and deserve consideration\, and t hus I endeavor to take the time to give each piece placed in front of me v aluable critique – emphasizing the positive\, and potentially providing ca reful suggestions on how\, in my opinion\, it could be improved. I have a very open mind when it comes to alternative processing\, off-beat colorat ion techniques\, unusual angles and other creative explorations – seeing a s I partake so often in those myself – but appreciate and value the classi cal guiding principles of aesthetics as established by centuries of human art. I am a champion of varied and precise semantic expression\, and solem nly swear to use my verbosity for good.

\nPhilosophy: To me\, the success of an image li es in the efficacy with which it relays the artist’s message. I first focu s on the effect of the image as a whole\, be it emotional or cognitive\, a nd then proceed to distill the contributions of the visual elements – colo r\, composition\, tone\, subject… – to the intended (or resultant) respons e to the piece. I believe that all creative efforts are valid and deserve consideration\, and thus I endeavor to take the time to give each piece pl aced in front of me valuable critique – emphasizing the positive\, and pot entially providing careful suggestions on how\, in my opinion\, it could b e improved. I have a very open mind when it comes to alternative processi ng\, off-beat coloration techniques\, unusual angles and other creative ex plorations – seeing as I partake so often in those myself – but appreciate and value the classical guiding principles of aesthetics as established b y centuries of human art. I am a champion of varied and precise semantic e xpression\, and solemnly swear to use my verbosity for good.
