Jerry Weimar - photographer

Artist Statement

Jerry photographic interests were originally inspired by the glory of the Adirondack Mountains. His work focuses on Upstate NY (recently northeastern Lake Ontario) as well as the Arctic regions of Greenland, Iceland and Svalbard. He has been doing landscape photography for 25+ years, and attempts to express the essence of natural places with images that capture their light, colors and moods, while drawing the viewer into emotional experiences with the natural world. He is especially fond of minimalistic and abstract landscapes. See https://photos.jerryweimar.com/ for more info.

Artistic Process

Much of the best photography starts with falling in love with your subject, and wanting to share the essence of that subject with others. I love being outside, especially in winter, so that subject is often a place. I try to convey the emotion one feels, sometimes at a spectacular place, but often at local & familiar places. It involves working a subject from a variety of perspectives to realize an emotive composition. It also requires using the light, weather and seasons effectively. Sometimes I work a local single scene over a period of years, and convey the "essence of place" in a series of images. I've recently started photographing birds as well, and my recent trip to Grimsey afforded a fantastic opportunity to photograph many birds in the Arctic. I am currently using Nikon Z-System cameras and lenses, and Capture One for digital development of raw images. I do traditional prints/ frames in my lab on a large-scale Epson printer. But I also use metal and acrylic, which produces striking perspectives of images.
