Keith Moul – Five Photographs
Statement Of Photographic Intent
I do not restrict my subject matter except to common decency. Good photos require good light, or at least enough light to manipulate with editing software. Any photo taken may produce at least one version of itself that is worth retaining; often it contains more than one version by cropping the original. I never alter content by eliminating part of it or changing its position within the frame.
I alter an original photo with six priorities in mind:
High resolution
High color saturation
Maximum contrast
Superior brightness
Depth of subject, especially on landscapes or panoramic views; or roundness of more intimate subjects
Beauty, which I detect in form, color, texture or even ugliness/disorder
Therefore, I do not seek “realism,” but vibrancy.
