Creating a Passion
Art has always played an important role in my life. How I demonstrate art has evolved in so many ways from the years of sketching and drawing with graphite to eventually embracing technology with digital cameras and advanced creative software from Adobe. I have also challenged myself to experiment with film photography and the many formats from 35mm, 120, Polaroid to large format sheet film. Eventually I will be working with alternative printing methods in the darkroom.
Photography took root with myself while living in Terrace, British Columbia. The landscape was new and beautiful after living in the Cariboo all of my life. Since moving back to Williams Lake, I have transitioned myself to specialize in portraiture and the human condition. I enjoy both the versatility and control of studio work and the location based natural light shoots.
Filmmaking has become an extension to my skillset. The storytelling ability of video is absolutely amazing when you combine the right elements. Photography was a good base skill to begin filmmaking but you quickly realize it is very specialized art form all on it's own.
I am always searching for models and other creative artists to create unique and exciting work. Please contact me through email if you would like to share a project idea rmagnell@me.com.
