Mystery - Limited Edition of 8 Photograph

Joshua Tann is a fine art photographer.  He believes that photography is the best medium for his artistic work because it gives him the most creative freedom. Most of his photographic images are influenced by his love of travel, art and architecture, something that was nurtured throughout his youth and adulthood. His childhood goal to be an architect was derailed by life circumstances, but his love and interest in architecture continued throughout his life. In 2011 photography became his medium to express this passion, despite his profession as a psychotherapist.  He received a certificate in Professional Photography from the New York Institute of Photography. He also received a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University (Malibu, California) as his formal education.  His creative process started every time he is drawn to a certain scene, event or object. Almost every image he took involved a building or a structure as the main object or background. This is consistent to his interest in architecture and how humanity interact with their environment, particularly the surrounding structures and buildings. Aesthetics will always be a factor during the first few seconds of selecting an image, followed by other factors, such as the relationships between lighting and contrast, perspective and structures or angles and environment. A final photograph would eventually emerge from this process as the expression of his creative interpretation of that image with the hope of inspiring the viewing public.  His architectural influence ranges from the Renaissance and Gothic periods of the Italian duomos and palazzos to the modern design lines of Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry, and Michael Graves.  Although architecture is the basis of his photographic work, he is starting to develop interests in other subject matters in photography based on its visual perspective. This includes street photography, where humanity can become the main subject in the context of its environment. He had exhibited nationally and internationally in Los Angeles, and Irvine, CA, Portland, OR, Johnson City, TX, Fort Collins, CO, Minneapolis, MN, Molena, GA, Boston and Winchester, MA, Atlanta, GA, London, UK, Budapest, Hungary, Barcelona, Spain, Tokyo, Japan and Paris, France. He was also selected by several international photography competitions for their awards.
