BIO

Douglas Capron is an emerging photographer, visual artist and printmaker. Being recently invited to exhibit in Italy convinced him to focus full time on his passion. His varied work ranges from themes exploring nature and our environment to musicians, landscapes and portraiture.

“I started filming a documentary on Blues music 15 years ago. It opened the door to photographing musicians which inspired me to explore photography as an art form. My creative decisions are mostly unconventional and intuitive, responding to the unexpected. I am inspired by transformations and transitions that occur within nature, people and music. My wish is that my work conveys a feeling which travels beyond sentiment and graphic emotional impact, and sustains a subtle dialogue with the viewer. With my current series, "Hydrology: visions in ice", I am trying to express the ephemeral mystery that occurs when water transforms into a solid state. These works offer an alternative macro view of the transformation of water into a solid in a natural setting. These images that appear as sentient beings are surprisingly dynamic, organically expressive and unique, and pose more questions than are revealed beyond an aesthetic perspective in our relationship with the most basic element that sustains us all."

Douglas is currently working on a book of his photography based on his recent trip to Japan, scheduled for release in the Fall, 2010.
