I so admire fine art photographers. I enjoy today's talent as well as some of the vintage work by the pioneering masters of photography. My new local favorite, Paul Hernandez. I have always been drawn to figurative black and white portraits. I find them clean, flawless and inspiring. What interest me about photography is the mystery of capturing a moment in time. In this case, fashion photography is morethan pretty people wearing pretty clothes. It reflects emotions and passion. When done right, these photographs are a true form of art and can be completely timeless. Paul Hernandez' career started in the late 80's as a rock band photographer in Seattle during the hay day of grunge music. He moved towards shooting fashion and fine art photography while living and traveling throughout Europe in the 90's exploring and developing his unique style. The art lies in the artist, not the camera. Why is it that with over 60 years of improvements in cameras, lens sharpness, film grain, resolution and dynamic photo software that no one has been able to equal what Ansel Adams did back in the 1940's?
