Welcome
Welcome to my website, which showcases my body of work in still-life light painting. You will find captivating images of fruits, vegetables, flowers, vintage cameras, and electronics. Be sure to visit my gallery, where you can browse and purchase fine art prints of any of my photographs. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to reach out through my Contact Form.
You can find limited edition still life light painting prints framed at the Show of Hands Gallery in downtown Pittsboro. I’m also exhibiting my still life light painting and Pittsboro nightscapes at the 79 West Innovation Hub at Mosaic in Pittsboro, NC. I am a member of the Chapel Hill Camera Club, Cary Photographic Artists, and the Chatham Artist Guild. You can visit the Guild’s website to see my artist page, Bobby Izquierdo’s Artist Page. You can also read my artist interview at Bobby Izquierdo Artist Interview.
Still Life Light Painting
Each print is a composite of multiple photographs, taken in the dark with diffused light applied to each object. The highlights are blended to reconstruct the composition, creating rich colors and textures that are hard to replicate with studio flash. Many say my images have a “painterly look,” which I’m always happy to hear.
Pittsboro Nightscape
I created the Pittsboro nightscape images by photographing iconic and popular Pittsboro locations in the early morning hours or late in the day before sunset and then carefully post-processing them to transform them into a nighttime scene. This approach is similar to my still-life light painting process, where I darken a fill-light capture and selectively add highlights to enhance the final image. These works are intended as fine art photography, distinct from architectural, documentary, or street photography. Throughout the process, I modify the photograph to create a result that not only pleases me but, hopefully, resonates with others as well
