Photography: this category of my blog includes articles and videos that talk about photography or show lots of my photos.
Reboot

Sometimes, my camera is the only cure.
Is Haley Morris-Cafiero a photographer?

Or is she a performer? Or a conceptual artist? Maybe the question should be “does it matter what we call her seeing as her work is so poignant?” It’s a fair point, but I do think that her title is worth discussing.
Waiting on the water

Visiting the coast not too long ago, I found myself really relating to the anemones.
Trillium training / S’entraîner avec le trille

When these three-petaled flowers come up, I come out to admire them. Lorsque ces fleurs à trois pétales arrivent, je prends le temps de les admirer.
My guru

This dog knows how to live better than almost anyone I know. I look to him as an example.

Painting something besides portraits for Crime Against Nature, I was able to fall back on this effective way of composing an image. Puisque je ne peignais pas des portraits pour Le crime contre nature, j’ai pu découvrir à nouveau cette façon efficace de composer une image.

Defining success as an artist / Définir la réussite en tant qu’artiste

Because it’s vital to know what you’re striving for. Parce qu’il est essentiel de comprendre ce qu’on vise.

My name is Gwenn Seemel. I live in Portland, Oregon, USA. I’m a full-time artist and I’ve sold my soul to the genre of portraiture. I blog in French as well as in English. More...
