ARTIST STATEMENT

Russell Hughes studied photography through high school and college, though he ultimately pursued a career in High Tech, with a BS in accounting and MBA in International Business. With his passion for photography going back almost 50 years, his recent retirement has finally allowed Russell to pursue his love of creating art with a camera and focus on his photography more fully.

This collection of images includes photographs from his travels over the last 10+ years and were shot using a variety of cameras, from iPhones, Canon, Fuji, and Nikon.

His images frequently explore geometry, texture, color and symmetry. He focuses on creating the image within the camera and editing through the lens. Most of the images have not been cropped, nor have any filters been used. Minimal work on color correction was the only post creation retouch.
