Piece description from the artist
Intentional defocus leads to a level of experimental abstraction that can trick the eye and the brain.
This is a photo of fall colors in the forest along the escarpment of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina, in the Upper New River basin.
It's interesting to try different apertures to achieve different effects of bokeh blur, essentially changing the width of the "paintbrush"…
Benjamin Erlandson, Ph.D. is a photographer and multimedia creator, shooting for more than thirty years and creating motion-based works for nearly as long, first experiencing stop-motion animation at a summer camp during middle school. Ben has degrees from UNC-Asheville, Emerson College, and Arizona State University.
His latest collaborative stop motion animated short film Monster News Feed has been featured and awarded in several film festivals, including Best Experimental Film at Frostbite International Indie Fest. Ben’s nature photography has been featured in solo and juried shows and published in journals such as Burningword Literary, The Esthetic Apostle, and Camas. In 2020, one of his photos was selected as the inaugural Conservation Award winner by the Appalachian Mountain Club.
A relatively new exploration and practice, his environmental modeling and portraiture photography has been consistently published internationally since October 2020.
Having lived and worked in Asheville, Boston, Tempe, Monterey Bay, Berkeley, and Washington, DC, Ben currently resides in the quiet mountains of Glade Valley, North Carolina. Whenever the opportunity arises, he travels the world, always taking as many cameras as he can fit into his bag.
