TRAVIS LOVELL PHOTOGRAPHY

When I photograph, I strive to achieve a level of order in a world of apparent disorder. I find form and simplicity beautiful. I find that simple yet sophisticated compositions give me as a viewer a sense of comfort and confidence that there is some order and logic in the world, that the world is not wholly filled with chaos and unpredictably. I don't operate using a snapshot mentality. I like to spend a lot of time with my subjects, hoping to find greater meaning or appreciation that can be captured and shared through an artifact known as a photograph. I find that the beauty of the photographic medium is that it forces the practitioner to question the very way that they see. I seek to provoke questions like "What is it that we truly see in front of us," and more importantly, "How can I qualify and quantify my experience so I can share it?"
