These are captured through the lens, and minimal processing takes place afterwards on the computer. In our time if you haven't seen it before and given technology, one could easily assume that these photographs are created in photoshop.
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." - Henry David Thoreau
With her abstract photographs, she brings to you the world of light in moments which are almost impossible to be seen, except in her photographs. The intoxicating landscapes of bold colors, dynamic shapes, that I have chosen to express create excitement that moves beyond the original form and gives it a new meaning. Both enchanting and haunting, they engage the viewer with the flow of mystery.
As Richmond explores, they take her to a new realm of insight of creativity. Shooting various colors and shape combinations, most of the decisions on the final out come are composed instinctively. The results of her art work is due her innate creativity and sense of exploration.
Colors that soothe our soul are inherently different from one individual to another, and when we connect with them, we are deeply moved. Richmond does not limit herself to one combination of colors over another. These photographs are captured through the lens, and minimal processing takes place afterwards. Viewers can, both consciously and subconsciously connect with the mystery of her abstract work.
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." - Henry David Thoreau
Since 1993 she has taken part in photographic juried competitions and exhibitions with her photographs. Up to now she has won eleven awards, four are placements from the 2016 IPA International Photography Awards. Her photos have appeared in publications and are in many private collections across the country.
