About the Artist - Jamie Starling
Being a self-taught photographer, I am naturally curious about how things work and why. Not being afraid to ask these questions are sources of inspiration to help me stimulate the search for answers and serves as inspiration to create my art.
I create my art because, art is a way to add to the quality of life. It encourages people to ask questions, to take brief moments out of their busy lives and reflect on ideas other than how to make more money or how to get over on the competition. Art challenges what we think is normal and begs us to dream. It would be nice that just one of my images could change the world for the better and make this world we live in a more human place for us all.
In order to keep moving forward, I am continually learning new techniques, refining my skills and taking chances. There are a lot of photographers I admire but I do not attempt to mimic. Nor do I have a style, in my opinion style is simply self-plagiarism. I create each image as I see it, with no preconceived expectations.
"If I feel something strongly, I make a photograph. I do not attempt to explain the feeling." Ansel Adams.
