This photo-impressionist piece by Michael Lawrence embodies the essence of serenity. The photograph features a lone silhouette against the backdrop of the ocean beneath Brighton Pier. The interplay of light and shadow at sunrise, combined with reflective water and the gentle hues of the morning sky, creates a harmonious balance that’s both visually appealing and emotionally evocative.
I initially trained as a graphic designer in a London studio, and from there morphed into a photographer, working for national newspapers, advertising agencies and publishers, photographing politicians, pop stars, fashion models and many other things and people besides. I also spent some time working as an experimental photographic printer and silkscreen printer, and along the way set about exploring ways of fusing various things that I had learnt, taking photographs in a rather unorthodox way, with specially-adapted lenses, which I then further distorted or remodelled, calling the end results of such manipulation ‘Photo-Graphics’. I am constantly experimenting, never knowing at the start of any given day what I will have come up with by the end of it. That makes life quite exciting. I’ll be offering some of my images as limited-edition prints here on Jose Art Gallery. Most of them have never been seen before, anywhere.
