Portraits of Cigar Workers in Havana Cuba
by Perry Frantzman…
Forty years ago, Perry was drawn into photography using his 35 mm SLR. He started out with black and white processing his own photos in his parents basement dark room. What started out as a hobby has developed into a passion for learning more and more about the art of photography, digital shooting and processing techniques while searching out photographic shooting opportunities. Courses and Workshops abound all over the country, so Perry honed in on what he felt were the best suited to him, his photographic style as well as his strengths and challenges.
Traveling the world, Perry and his camera have snaked through the passes of Switzerland, the rivers of Europe, the Netherlands as well as the roads of France, Soviet Union, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Italy, England, Ireland, Scotland, Canada, Mexico and of course, every beautiful State within the borders of the United States.
Along this photographic path, Perry fell in love with High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDR). This process has taken Perry years to master and to develop his own distinct, unique style. HDR is a combination of photography and artistic medium. The photographs that Perry has created are well received artistically and cherished by not only him but his collectors as well. Creating through this medium he has developed a set of techniques that allow for a greater dynamic range of luminance than standard digital imagining techniques can provide.
