Stumbling around in the inky black of pre-dawn, I made my way to the vista lookout at Bryce Canyon, with only a small flashlight to light my way. I set up the camera on my tripod and waited for the morning sun to creep slowly across the canyon walls, splashing the hoodoos with color.
Capturing the Magnificent Beauty of Everyday Life
Robert Arrington is an emerging landscape and HDR photographer residing in Anchorage, Alaska. Robert’s unique artistic creations combine the mystical alchemy of digital photographic and High Dynamic Range (HDR) techniques with skillful digital painting causing many to ask, “Is it a painting or a photograph?” The answer is often “both.”
Robert’s philosophy is about Capturing The Magnificent Beauty Of Everyday Life. We live in a world that is fraught with suffering and stress and finding places of serenity is key to maintaining a healthy spiritual balance in life. We find serenity in the beauty in a forest wilderness, the majesty of a waterfall, the echo of the ancients in cathedrals of stone. Robert’s vision is to create places of serenity through his art, a sacred space where one may roam unfettered while escaping the clutter of life.
Robert Arrington uses a Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR camera with numerous SLR lenses and always shoots in RAW. Robert employs numerous digital fine art techniques that include the mastery of Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop and digital fine art painting techniques using Corel Painter with a Wacom Intuos Tablet. Robert also runs Zen Designworks, a successful graphic and web design company whose local clients include the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous and St. Elias Specialty Hospital.
