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.
