My photgraphy is an eclectic blend of style and substance. Sometimes I will have and idea for a shoot and on the way I see something else that inspires me. I spend the rest of the day working on that inspiration. With luck I'll return the orginal idea, but oft times I develop new ideas and work from those.
The photos in my gallery represent examples of my style and the way I look at objects, landscapes, and events. My approach to event photography is to capture the event as it happens, not as I want it to happen. I use a long lens to capture individual moments unposed. I try to stay transparent so as not to influence the interactions and reactions of the people in attendance.
I hope you like what you see. Feel free to comment as I am still learning this craft and want to improve. You can see other examples of my work at : http://www.flickr.com/photos/philven and e-mail me at photosbyphil@pacbell.net.
My gallery is now an e-commerce site and you can purchase prints from here. Matting and framing options are also available. New galleries will be put on the site to update it. If you have a special order request please feel free to email me from the site and I will happy to meet your needs.
