Contemporary Photo Impressionists: Blackwood - Bridges - Carson - Chait - Moore - Plaisted - Polonia

Most people who enjoy fine art are well aware of the Impressionist painters - Monet, Renoir, Manet, Pisarro, etc. Their work was noted for its emphasis on light and composition, utilizing reduced focus and/or pronounced brush strokes to achieve a blurring effect or slight'disintegration' of the image. In a sense, the image looks somewhat unfinished, incomplete, or out of focus. Since the advent of cameras, photographers have achieved similar results using elements in the environment, technical capabilities of cameras, lenses and filters, processembellishment, and more recently, digital embellishment using computer software.This book has collected the work of eight leading photo impressionists, currently working in this genre.
