About_Brendan Alex Phoenix.jpeg

Introduction:

Almost every photograph is a culmination of hours spent researching, editing, and spending time on location to create an image that matches my vision.

When you purchase a print, card, or download a wallpaper, you are not only adding value to your own life but supporting an artist whose passion is to share his creative heart.

I’m drawn to photography for the challenge it requires in chasing the right conditions in order to create the final print.

Often everything works out, but sometimes there is failure.
However the opportunity to try is only possible through your support.

Thank you.

Brendan’s photographic art can be divided into two separate categories:
Realism and Abstraction.

Artist Statement: Realism

I work to create images that achieve balance and harmony. When photographing, I think about the best composition for the scene – often spending several hours at a location exploring and waiting for the the right moment to appear.

The right moment could be the crashing of a wave, a sunbreak in a storm, or even the absence of people from a popular location.

With the world around us continuing to feel smaller and more crowded, secret spots are no secret anymore. Finding peace and solitude is becoming increasingly difficult.

Cameras can capture the world in a fraction of a second – forever suspending a real moment in time. Photographs, therefore, are like a physical copy of existence.

A physical copy for showcasing nature at its most powerful, beautiful, and without the distraction, of the ever growing and ever present, crowds of people.

From waking up early for sunrise, to staying up late capturing the Milky Way, may my photographs invoke a deep sense of appreciation and awe for the world around us.

Artist Statement: Abstraction (BAPstract)

While creating my signature abstract photographs or BAPstracts, no longer can I see what the camera will capture until after the photograph is taken. It’s an imaginative form of photography that’s very different from my realism.

BAPstracts or Brendan Alex Phoenix Abstracts sort of look like the rings of Saturn or grooves on a vinyl record.

Each one is unique.
Creating them is an organic process that requires patience, practice and precision.
It takes more than pressing a button yet doesn’t require a paint brush.

Personally, I feel these abstracts evoke a sense of mystery and contemplation. They vibrate and hum. Full of energy.

Gazing into them creates an optical illusion that provides an opportunity to calm the mind.

A vehicle for spiritual awareness.

Creating art begins with inspiration, followed by taking action.

Photographing is half the creative process.
The rest happens during editing and printing.
