AMERICAN PRIDE AND PASSION
A Photographic Celebration of our American Spirit.
This photographic series is my attempt to draw out the beauty and passion from everyday objects that come alive during my controlled lighting at night.
By carefully composing and lighting these real-life objects, and with the help of volunteer photographic assistants, I´m striving to interpret them as metaphors for values of character, honor, integrity and pride, exemplified by the people who work with this equipment on a regular basis.
Through my photographs I strive to share with the viewer the passions enjoyed by our fellow countrymen. Whether laborer, professional, volunteer, corporate CEO or just a guy who owns a cool, old pickup truck, we all share this American experience together. Eric Curry
Here are some of Eric curry's images i find his work inspiring and hope to one day achieve something to this standard, the images are so dramatic due to the way he has used the lighting to light each individual detail. These images were all shot in complete darkness using various different light sources to light different parts of the image that are then layered together in photoshop to produce one complete image i think it is a
AFTER THE CONCERT
Above are some links to the videos of Eric Curry's work they document exactly what he dose on each shoot the shoots take up to twelve hours to create, each individual detail is lit on its own leaving the rest of the image black in the dark of night then the images are layered on top of each other to create a fully lit image i find this process amazing and the image created is like nothing iv seen before its almost like a cartoon or drawing the colours are so vivid and surreal, I think the patience and time that goes into thees images really show within the quality of the image. Why not just take it in the daylight you say? save all the time and layers? On the video it shows the same image taken during the day and at night and the difference between the two is unbelievable, it looks like two completely different places.
