Flyfishing Portrait Photography- I tried to capture intricacy of flyfishing as well the intimacy and art of the process.

Fine art photography happens, it’s a moment, it is a feeling when all the elements just seem to support each other.

I strive to capture not the whole image of portraiture but instead a glimpse of a moment, the snapshot to a spectator

What interested me was the light, how the shadows are the most important aspect of the image. I like backlit photography, it gives the subject a feeling of mystery.

I try to edit as little as I can as to not alter the moment. This series of photography shows the intensity and joy of the fisherman, an enthusiast absorbed in his art form.
