Eric Fredine ~ Horizons


I've been preparing work for an exhibition. It seems to be a period of consolidation and reflection accompanied by ample amounts of angst and uncertainty. I think I've learnt a few things about myself and my photography.

Thing one: my photographs - at least the ones that 'work' - are more about photographing a feeling than a subject. And because they are photographs of the way I feel they are very much a reflection of me.

Thing two: despite no overt attempt to create one a narrative seems to emerge.

Eric,
A wonderful and enlightening group of images. I hope you will do well with your exhibition.

Eric, the formalism is stunning. Who would have thought the flat plains could be so visually exciting? What size are your exhibition prints?

Thanks folks. Kent - they are scanned from 4X5 and printed at 20" X 20".

Cheers,
Eric

Eric, as always your work continues to engage and suprise. I've seen a number of these before, but they seem to reveal something new when I study them again. My only regret is that I can't see them all together in print. Best regards with your exhibition.

Have you ever considered doing a book project? If so, let me know so I can get my reserve copy.

A very visually exciting collection - you certainly have a great eye for thought-provoking simplicity Eric!

Eric,
This one is so interesting! I love all that textured stubble and that surprise pyramid out there.
