Photographer Mick Miller welcomes you to 'The Light Fanstastic' and invites you to take your time exploring the different galleries of his work.
An award winning fine art photographer, Mick moved to Aruba from the United States in the summer of 2005. His photographic subjects of interest are landscapes, architechture, floral studies and on occasion, objects and scenes that one might describe as macabré or bizzare.
Black & white is Mick's first passion but you will find his color work is equally inspiring. Although he now works with a digital camera and computer, he maintains his craft utilizing the tools and techniques of traditional photography. Filters are used on the cameras to create the original images rather than applying them later with a computer program. The computer serves as his chemical-free darkroom and is employed for traditional darkroom techniques such dodging and burning, increasing image latitude or toning. Mick feels that 'creating' an image in photoshop should be properly classified as digital photo illustration, an art form that is not to be confused with classic mimetic photography.
