Today we’d like to introduce you to Wayne Fisher.
Wayne, please kick things off for us by telling us about yourself and your journey so far.
From an early age photography has always been a passion of mine. The creative process was intriguing to me as well as the power to capture a moment in time. Photography was more than black and white, it was being able to see in color. We have a responsibility in this world to record and expose the beauty as it is. Photography has evolved but will always remain pure in my heart. My journey began in South Africa and through the lens I saw a divided nation. Behind the glass Photojournalism was a vehicle to the struggle. Acquiring a National Diploma in Photography [Pretoria, South Africa], a brighter future was seen in the viewfinder in Canada’s uninterrupted beauty of a nation of Canada where I continue to be inspired to create.
Clarity is becoming a husband and father.
I continue to be inspired by Architecture and the abstract world ,being able to do what I love and if the viewer is inspired then I feel that I have achieved . I have been creating for over 25 years and through time and my journey had led me to architectural photography and this genre of photography is where I feel at home. I continue to challenge myself by shooting every day and putting myself out to the world and the constant challenge is what drives me.
Can you give our readers some background on your art?
I am an Artist, I create because this is what I believe I am meant to do. When I am creating I feel a sense of exhilaration and know that this is who I am. The feeling of comfort and enthusiasm is what drives me to challenge my creativity.
My eye is constantly searching for images looking for patterns, textures and how the light is affecting the subject. I visit the subject and admire and respect its beauty, then I dissect it looking at every possible angle to portray it at its best. I fall in love easily with my subjects and have a feeling of attachment and leave with a lonely feeling of detachment. And. I love to photograph Architecture and its form, and visualize what I would like the final result to be. I am represented by Elaine Fleck Gallery, Toronto, Canada. www.elainefleckgallery.com. Represented in Toronto by the Elaine Fleck Gallery.
What would you recommend to an artist new to the city, or to art, in terms of meeting and connecting with other artists and creatives?
Instagram has been an incredible tool connecting with artists around the world. Engagement consistency I feel is the most effective in growing a following.
