WEST VIRGINIA (LOOTPRESS) – The natural beauty and captivating landscapes associated with the State of West Virginia have become an indelible aspect of the area’s identity over time. But through the work of West Virginia born photographer Dave Green, the rolling hills and expansive skies of the region seem to reveal themselves in ways previously unseen.
While working with such bountiful subject matter is certainly a benefit, along with adequate gear and technique, the key variables in the images produced by Green are vision, tenacity, and in no small part, patience.
Viewers get an inside look at the process through Green’s website and social media pages where detailed accounts of new work can often be found.
“There’s a story behind every photo,” he writes. “When I have a shot in mind, it’s hard for me to focus on anything else.”
These accounts convey an exciting and meticulous, if occasionally frustrating and tedious process which amounts to significantly more than simply waltzing out and snapping a picture.
Iconic state imagery, nature, and sprawling skyscapes are but a few of the subjects frequently presented in Green’s images, with final products oftentimes bringing to the forefront the brilliance of what may otherwise be considered innocuous nuances and details in natural processes such as the setting of the sun or an astrological event.
Like all great art, these images reveal a depth to subject matter not immediately apparent in day-to-day life, amplifying the majesty waiting to be found within the seemingly mundane.
