ClearLight Imagery is my expression of collected images of the world around me. Almost all the images are candid, with no setup, lighting or anything else: truly 'found art' in the ordinary movement of humanity through life. I call these moments "superordinary" as the process of freezing time - the single most powerful aspect of still photography - focuses the eye and mind of the viewer on an image that would often otherwise go unnoticed, or pass out of perception occur in studio or pre-planned photography. The sole purpose of my editorial work is to balance out the technical 'imperfections' of the image [contrast, focus, color balance, etc.] that would detract from the core content of the image. Except for a few obvious exceptions, there is no "Photoshopping" of my work, no 'filters', airbrushing, etc. These are real images - as real as photography is anyway...
