In my explorations, I seek out the literal or figurative underbelly of places and things. Often the unseen is the most telling and sensitive. Back alleys and abandoned places draw me in. The things I see in these places where I most likely should not be, I take out of their realm and ask the viewer to see what has been missed. I prefer to use what I encounter as I find it, making visual order of chaos by giving new context to what I have singled out.
As a graphic designer, my interest and careful study of color and space has been
developing over the years; in my photographs, I reapply those ideas to the world as I see it. My post-processing work is used less to distort or invent, rather more to recapture the feelings of the moment, by altering the color. I prefer to restrict myself to one or two dominating colors in a composition to enhance and orchestrate the mood. The goal of every image is to create an experience that invokes all the senses as intensely as when I capture what is before me." -Laura Kicey
