RF-Photography's photostream

The images that were here on Flickr have all been deleted. The reasons why can be found in an article on my blog, rf-photography.ca/fading-flickr/. My website, rf-photography.ca contains galleries of images and I'd be pleased if you'd check it out if you're looking to view any of my photography.

Biography
I am a freelance photographer and writer based in Oshawa, ON, Canada. My main photographic style is photoimpressionism which takes its name from the Impressionistic movement in art.

My influences come mainly from the traditional art world rther than the world of photography. The use of colour, shape and texture by artists such as Monet, Guillaumin, Thompson, Carmichael, Lismer, Harris, Carr and others as opposed to a strictly realistic approach are what I strive for in my impressionistic photography. The Pointillist style as used by the likes of Seurat and Van Gogh is also a look I try to achieve with the camera. I also try to bring this sense of abstraction to other subjects including my architectural abstract photography.

In addition to my fine art work, I've done freelance PJ work as both a photographer and writer and had an image chosen for the cover of a national magazine. In my commercial work, I often make use of High Dynamic Range Imagery to create high quality, richly detailed images for my clients.

None of the images in the galleries on this site are done with 'digital trickery'.

Fine art prints are high quality giclée prints and will last for many years. Only archival methods and materials are used. Canvas prints are treated with a protectant that seals the print and protects from UV fading. Similarly, prints on metal are protective coated. Traditionally framed paper prints are put behind anti-UV glass and only acid/lignin free materials are used.
