Undulated fall Print

My pastel paintings are photorealistic, whereas when taking photographs I prefer an impressionistic character. So don't get confued! The originals of the paintings are executed on Ingres paper using soft and hard pastels. For hanging on the wall, however, I prefer to make them reproduce on canvas and mount them on a stretcher frame. On one hand that way it's not necessary to protect the paintings with a sheet of glass, on the other hand the texture Ingres paper adds to the paintings matches perfectly with the texture of canvas. All of my photographs are created in-camera combining long exposure with intentional camera movement. Beyond that I tend to keep post-processing to the basics: in general the finishing process consists only of an improvement in contrast, saturation, clarity, other parameters for image adjustment and cropping. Hope you enjoy what you see!
