Assorted Work Gallery – This gallery features a variety of images that live outside my primary collections — work that’s experimental, unexpected, or uniquely personal. From quiet abstracts to offbeat captures, this is where I explore freely.

Engaging with local artists and artisans can provide deeper insights into the creative processes and techniques that define New Mexican art. This connection enriches the viewer’s appreciation not only of the photographs but also of the cultural narratives behind them.

Another fascinating technique is multiple exposures, where two or more images are combined into a single photograph. This technique can create dreamlike, surreal effects, perfect for conveying the otherworldly landscapes found in places like White Sands National Park or the alien terrains of the Valles Caldera. Such images invite viewers to interpret the scenes in imaginative ways.

Camera motion, another creative method, can add a sense of dynamism to photographs. By intentionally moving the camera during a shot, photographers can create a sense of speed and movement, perfectly capturing the feeling of a windy day in the enchanting landscapes of New Mexico.

Post-processing manipulation plays a crucial role in modern photography. It allows artists to enhance their images and bring their creative visions to life. For instance, adjusting the color saturation can make the sunset hues pop, transforming a standard photograph into a captivating work of art that reflects the artist’s unique perspective on New Mexico’s natural beauty.

Visiting New Mexico also offers the opportunity to experience its rich cultural heritage. From the Pueblo communities to the vibrant art scene in Santa Fe, the state’s culture is deeply intertwined with its landscapes. Photographers often find inspiration in the local traditions, festivals, and art forms that reflect the state’s unique identity.
