art

Black and White Abstract Wall Art now available, shop local!

So I talked a little about my artwork in my youth before. I was always a big fan of the abstract and the surreal. I was also really interested in reflections and installation art.

My love of the abstract carried on into my photography and when I get the chance I like to make abstract art with my photographs. This might seem weird, I mean how can photography be abstract?

Part of my fascination with this is that making abstract photographs is a challenge. I have always had an eye for the abstract. I see things differently than most folks, I think it is because of my inability to see properly for all of my childhood, only getting glasses when I became a teenager taught me to look for patterns shapes before looking for detail because for me there was none.

Anyway I mention it today because I also do abstract photography, it is a very niché thing but some of my work is available to buy now at the Puffin Gallery Ballycastle! Lots of other great local artist's work there too, please support local, both the gallery and us artists!

Along side Lindsay Adler! Thanks Good light magazine

So today I got my first big international acclaim by being featured in Good Light Magazine.  What I didn't know what until I saw the final magazine was that I am being featured along side Lindsay Adler!  Lindsay is a New York based photographer who's work I really admire.  She has such creative and vibrant work.  It is so great to be featured in the same magazine with someone I look up to so much!

Obviously I cant publish the article here, it was for the magazine, but please do check it out at the link above. It was based on a concept I came up with to create beautiful light trails in a portrait photograph.  I also did a little video explaining how the light painting tool works and showing of some of the pictures from the main article. Check it out below.

 

This is one of a number of videos I am planning on photography so please like, comment and subscribe.  I dont know of any other Northern Ireland based professional Photographers running a youtube channel so I would really appreciate your support. #mathieudecodtsphotography
