Lynn Wiles – Water Photography

Featured photographic artist – Lynn Wiles

Our previous feature artist post contained images by Lynn Wiles, her impressionist photographic images. These impressionist images have a painterly look created by using a slow shutter speed and are worth a look.

This series contains images of water using both slow shutter speeds and high shutter speeds. The results are beautiful abstract images of colour, texture and motion.

Whether fresh or salt water, I am fascinated by the way the seasons, light, wind, color and motion create ever-changing patterns in water. Using in-camera techniques, I focus on these patterns of abstraction. For moving water with reflections, I tend to use a fast shutter speed to freeze the movement. Sometimes I allow a wave to form by staying still while using a slow shutter speed and other times I will move the camera to capture the impression of the scene.

Artists Bio:

I live in Somerville, MA and started exhibiting in the 70’s. My early works were hand painted black and white images processed in my darkroom. In 2001, I went digital and since then, I primarily shoot in color. The technologies have changed but I still find myself interested in the same subjects, nature, architecture, still lifes and abstractions.

Most of my photographs remove details from context so as to present them anew. I enjoy walking and photographing, watching the cycles of the seasons, pausing to capture patterns or creating abstractions. By looking closely at detail and the underlying structure I find beauty in the ordinary.
