ENTRY DESCRIPTION
My photography covers a very diverse range of styles and subject matter. I find it incredibly challenging and interesting to tackle a wide variety of subject matter. It expands my horizons and more importantly my skill set. It's very rewarding to be able to pick up my camera and confidently capture any subject matter, stories, uniqueness, moments, etc.

I have worked with classic cars many different ways. However, they have a propensity to be famous for shapes, colors, and intricate detail that seems best conveyed through color images. Therefore, producing these interpretations in monochrome takes some consideration before I feel like I have captured not only what my feelings and emotions are with regard to their character but present them in the best interpretation I can. Enjoy a walk through the past.

AUTHOR
Maureen Ravnik was born and raised in Minnesota. She attended the University of Colorado to pursue a career in sales & marketing. Working and traveling a lot in that discipline opened her eyes to the wonders of the natural world and reawakened childhood tendencies to creatively document her discoveries. Upon retirement, she began in earnest to pursue that dream.

My methods and techniques are largely self-taught. I am deeply inspired by the work of Ansel Adams and Art Wolfe. My work is also derived from my imagination which is ultimately a collection of a lifetime of experiences.

My greatest satisfaction comes from taking the file from camera to computer to develop composites. I choose not to use AI or digital painting. Instead, with the help of editing/processing software, my final work is either straight out of the camera or created using a blend of photographs. My fine art photography may reflect the use of 1-5 photos. The results reflect the soulful fingerprint that expresses my feelings about my subject matter. My work is delivered in an array of styles that arc between realism, passionately abstract and doggedly figurative.
