Richard Lawson, Photographer
“Quiet Conversations in Color”
An interpretive and meditative approach to photography.
My passion in life has been to inspire and nourish people though both my photography and previously in a long career as a clinical psychologist.
I believe my camera is a divining rod to beauty. Appreciating beauty can open the heart and when our hearts are open, we are more receptive to love and inspiration.
The most common response to many of my images is that “They look like paintings” This is probably most likely due to my having been strongly influenced by Asian art. In, particular, the concept of less is more”, wherein, I attempt to capture the essence of a scene, object or flower by focusing on one small aspect that captures the essence of the larger composition. By Focusing on the smaller aspect, the mind is engaged to imagine the whole. This approach can bring forth a more interpretive and meditative experience for both myself and the viewer.
