As part of the 15th Anniversary Salon Exhibition at the Grand Theatre Center for the Arts, David Casterson (see photo above) gave a painting demonstration. He talked about how he spends much of his "painting" time actually standing back from his painting and thinking about solutions to the problems he encounters as he paints. He pointed out that the time spent standing back, looking, and thinking is the real creative process while the part where the artist puts the brush (or hand) to the work is the technical aspect of the work. While I understood what David was talking about, I wondered how I, as a photographer, could capture that creative moment in a way that would be interesting. Then I realized that I had recently created several photos that I felt achieved that goal. Matt Farnsworth (below) is a ceramics teacher at the Grand Theatre Center for the Arts. I recently photographed him while he sculpted a bust. He was the only one of my artist subjects - so far - who worked quietly on his art and ignored me completely as I photographed him. I think the photos from that shoot reflect the kind of intimacy he creates with his work and the image below depicts the artistic gaze - the moments spent in creative problem-solving. I also had the opportunity to take pictures of Ingrid Canton as she created scenic paintings for the set of Kimball High's upcoming production of Elf the Musical. She would often step back and think about what needed to be added to a painting to create the desired effect. I feel it was the pose and lighting that made this moment work as a photo.
