Doug Birkenheuer is a highly-regarded commercial & fine art photographer. His work has appeared in both commercial & editorial publications such as YM, ELLE, The Chicago Tribune, Gay Chicago, and the Free Press. "In a world where many people become trapped by their work, mine has only released me as an artist. It has given me such a sense of freedom. I believe photography is the most realistic art medium. The image is caught in an instant and permanently fixed in time. What is at once a moment, quickly becomes the past. Being present, focused and open to possibility has allowed me to maintain the pureness of that moment. Dark, Light, Erotic, Disturbing, Angular and Geometric. These are some of the words we use to shape and define art. Yet these are only words; not truths, just interpretations. My perspective may or may not be yours, which makes it neither right or wrong. With this in mind, consider this thought: Life like art, is neither real or unreal, beautiful or ugly, it simply is." - Doug Birkenheuer |
