Bending Time
It has been said that we pass through these planes through portals - wormholes that allow matter to flow freely through to another existence in the same but different world. Bending Time is about showing these portals within our current environment. These portals of Quantum physics are not physical destinations for us to visit but are merely shown to contemplate crossing space and time to fulfill a desired thought if it was carried out differently. How do our decisions affect us?
Todd Bradley (1970, Detroit, USA) is a contemporary photographer currently residing in San Diego, and Palm Springs California. His work concentrates on nature, and urban decay. Often showing quirkiness, Todd’s aesthetic focuses on detailed features, demonstrating new perspectives to ordinary objects in still time. Classic photographers Karl Blossfeldt, Edward Weston, and Robert Mapplethorpe undoubtedly have influenced Todd’s work with their clean lines, geometry in nature, and use of negative space. Todd brings freshness in his whimsical compositions and subject matter.
For personal projects Todd turns to diorama toy photography. It’s about keeping his child-like mind active and creative. It’s about lightening his load. It’s about being playful, and happy. And not being so serious all the time. David Levinthal, Lori Nix, And Mathew Albanese are all inspirations when it come to this close macro work.
Todd has exhibited in numerous group shows world-wide including the See/Me Awards the Louvre, Paris; the Fort Wayne Museum of Contemporary Art; Camera USA 2014-17, Florida; The Center for Fine Art Photography, Colorado; He’s been awarded the Bronze Award by FAPA, London for his work on the Salton Sea. He’s received honorable mentions from The London Creative Awards, the Monochrome Photography Awards, The International Photography Awards, and FAPA Awards. Todd’s work has been published in Square magazine Paris, and Beta Magazine Australia.

Newton, Einstein and Erwin Schroedinger, all wrote about the theory of a parallel universe years ago. Stephen Hawking has written in detail of how there are multitudes of our universe, our space and time existing simultaneously.It has been said that we pass through these planes through portals - wormholes that allow matter to flow freely through to another existence in the same but different world.
