Daniel Murtagh, Photographer

I spend a fair amount of time in my search for reference material for my sculptures and pottery.  In one of my recent searches I came across Daniel Murtagh.  He is a photographer who in his own words, ““My work has been described as victorian noir. For me it is a form of alchemy and poetry.” Daniel Murtagh’s work explores the notion of presence, the experience of a person not merely seen but also felt. The influences of both film and painting combine to create a feeling of time suspended.”

I greatly enjoyed looking through his portfolio and getting a look into his creative eye.  I recommend taking a moment to look through his work*.  Seeing other peoples artistic vision helps me to define my own.
