My name is Aaron Nace and I am a photographer and digital artist based out of Chapel Hill, NC. My main focus with my work is portraiture, and I try to create images that are more than just technically well done, I want them to impact the viewer emotionally. I am very much into creating images using all the tools available, including lighting, costuming, set design, and post production. I aim to have my images stand out from the crowd and bring about original concepts, and am always evolving my style to do so.
I am currently involved in what is known as the "365 days" project, basically the idea is that I take a photo of myself every day for a year. Within this project I have started other projects, I have done the "Seven deadly sins" with my girlfriend and photographer Rosie Hardy. Another project is my Artist Tribute project.
I started the Artist Tribute series for a couple of reasons. The first being that others' art plays a large influence on my own, and I decided I would take a group of artists who are the most influential towards my art, and see what I could learn from them.
I wanted to emulate their styles for both technical reasons as well as artistic reasons. Technically I could learn from different generations of thought as far as lighting and image quality is concerned. Artistically, I truly learned to value many images I previously had little regard for. The project really helped me to understand why some images are more successful than others, and the fact that most of the artists I studied were not photographers made me realize that different mediums actually have a lot more in common than I once thought.
Thanks to Flickr I have found the LOVE of my life Rosie Hardy. Rosie lives in England and I live in the united states, and our passions guided us towards each other, a truly amazing miracle! We are ARF, and together we can do anything!

"When most people undertake the challenge of taking a photo a day of themselves for a whole year they start to run out of ideas, and the resulting shots show someone who doesn't want to be there. By contrast, Aaron's work is positively bursting with ideas, made possible by his mastery of scene and post-production. His work is first rate at every level, and I look forward to see what's next!"

"Finally i can write u a testimonial
Thaaaaank u (F)
before one month i tried to write one but really i can't find the word that describe your talent & creative, you r one of the best in flickr and i like to see your photostream daily. Aron is a photographer who surprise us everyday with something extraordinary.
All of his photos have depth and each of them tell a story.you have the type of talent that makes us want to go out side and shoot and be very jealous at the same time.
Wish u all the best
MoDe"5th November, 2008

"Although I don't know Aaron personally, I do know he is a very talented and amazing photographer. His images are original, and creative. His lighting and post processing skills are truly incredible. All of his photos have exceptional detail, and evoke true emotion. Browsing through his photostream is always fun, especially with his new Artist Tribute and ARF series."

"This kid has some insane talent! Every time I come on to flickr I go to his page to see what new and crazy self portrait he's come up with. Each time it's something different and unique that blows me away. I'm really happy that I found him and I look forward to see what he does next!"

"I was thinking how outrageous this man doesn't have a thousand testimonials by now and figured by not giving him one, I was part of the problem.
Never have I seen anyone with the ability to take photos as ridiculously funny, or gut-wrenchingly heartbreaking as him. Every photo conveys a message, and the ones that don't, just make you straight out piss yourself laughing.
His attention to detail is amazing, and his dedication to his art, even more impressive. And the fact he doesn't mind getting nude every now and then really shows his commitment (considering what he looks like nude)."17th June, 2008

"First testimonial I've written, but i saw he had no testimonials and I thought "how can this be?". SO...here ya go, Aaron.
This guy's photos rock. They are all very creative, DEFINITELY unique, and funny. He is an inspiration. Can't wait to see what he comes up with in the future."12th May, 2008
