Brent Harter Photography
Artist Statement


Photography allows me the freedom to truly express myself. When my eye is pressed up against my camera, I feel simultaneously calm and excited. I am a self taught photographer that has been taking photographs for a long time. I never took it seriously until 2007 after some strong encouragement from friends. My goal in my work is to allow the viewer the opportunity to dig into their imagination and experience something unique. It is my dream to someday work full time as a professional fine art photographer and have my work displayed around the globe.

With my photography, I strive to explore and push different perspectives in order to learn something new about our vastly complex world. I consider myself a generalist which allows me the flexibility and freedom to explore new subjects and techniques everyday.

My favorite technique is called “light painting”. It consists of a long exposure where I introduce my custom made lights to a scene in total darkness. Anything from flashlights, Christmas tree lights, or neon tubes are moved around and captured by the camera, effectively “painting” with the lights. None of my light painting photography has been manipulated in Photoshop and is strictly ‘straight out of the camera’. With my photography I am always challenging myself to push my own limits. I encourage you view my work and to push your own limits too.
