TITLE: "Untraveled Lands"

Digital Black & White - this work is a combined collaboration between two models, a photographer (me) and a life drawing artist. It creates the feeling of familiar, yet unknown places beckoning. Shot in studio with single light source. It took many repetitions and trial & error with Poses to get this shot right.

AUTHOR: Harry Zola (United States)

My true calling has always been that of
an artist. From a young age, I would
often skip my schoolwork to get lost in
the creative world of my imagination
through drawing. After years of
attemptiing to push aside my hyper
creative proclivity for more "realistic"
subjects of focus, I found solace through
the creative outlet of digital photography
and editing. Initially, I honed my skills
through extensive photo editing on
smartphone imaqes. This foundational
experience laid the groundwork for my
deeper exploration into photography
Over the past five years, I have embraced
digital cameras, dedicating
countless hours to mastering advanced editing
techniques. Today, my work contains
many subtle influences including
Expressionism, Surrealism, and
Impressionism, which guide the aesthetic
and emotional depth of my photographs.
