Biography

In his early years, the easy money of computer programming lured Sean away from his fascination with graphic arts and photography. Now that he has decided his soul is more important than his wallet, he's put down the keyboard and picked up his camera once more. He smiles more frequently these days. Sean's studio is in Kitchener, Ontario.

Sean is the 2009-2010 President of the Kitchener-Waterloo Society of Artists.

Statement

My artwork visually straddles the realms of photography, graphic art and traditional media in its use of colour, contrast and compositional balance. All images are captured with digital sensors and processed using self-programmed software simulations of traditional darkroom techniques. With rare (and noted) exceptions, no pixel painting or object altering retouching is performed.
