Ceci Richardson
-Making not Taking- is my philosophy. My work explores the experiences and sentiments that a close connection to nature and the spiritual world awakes. I believe there is a very intimate process in making images. Photography is letting one see beyond the top layer of things by practicing the search for the inner layer, such practice makes it possible to establish a bridge between the soul of the subject and the soul of the photographer which meeting point will be perceived as the creation of an image that hopefully will speak to the viewer.
