Artist Statement
--Deidra Meysembourg
My images reflect those of Edward Weston, Ansel Adams and Howard Schwartz. I typically focus on lighting, tone, contrast, texture and the form of my subject - the human body. Even if I am not specifically shooting a human form I try to capture human-like qualities of the objects I photograph. I typically only shoot in black and white because I feel that the tones bring depth and a sentimental quality to the images.
