TITLE: Goats On The Roof

I shot this one several years ago at Coombs Old Country Market in Coombs, Vancouver Island, B.C. (Canada). This market has a restaurant, deli, bakery and ice cream shop and, as an added bonus, it has a herd of goats living atop its grassy roof.

AUTHOR: Steve Silverman (Canada)

A native of Toronto, Canada, Steve Silverman is a Canadian award-winning, fine art photographer with a keen and unique artistic vision. His love and appreciation for black and white photography are reflected in his dramatic landscapes and engaging cityscapes from across Canada.

Steve's landscape images are like metaphors. They represent his personal vision and interpretation of reality and should not be viewed as a literal representation of a scene. He uses strong tonal contrast, texture and mood to express his artistic vision. His photos are easily recognized by his use of strong leading lines combined with the interplay of light and shadows to create depth, giving a two-dimensional image the illusion of three dimensions. Simply put, he can transform a simple, mundane scene into a compelling black & white fine art photograph.

Steve’s photos have been published in many international books and magazines. He is also a guest speaker at local camera clubs. He works in conjunction with several Canadian art galleries and publishers on a variety of corporate and home decor fine art projects. These include Kodiak Gallery, Denison Gallery, Liss Gallery, The Hartman Gallery, Southlake Gallery, Select Art Gallery, Mima Fine Art Publishers and Out of the Blue Art Publishers.
