“My quest, through the magic of light and shadow, is to isolate, to simplify and to give emphasis to form with the greatest clarity. To indicate the ideal proportion, to reveal sculptural mass and the dominating spirit is my goal.” GivingLightFormSpiritGoalMagicPhotographyMassShadowIdealsPhotographerClarityProportionQuestsEmphasisSimplifyDominatingLight And Shadow Author:Ruth Bernhard
“Light is my inspiration, my paint and brush. It is as vital as the model herself. Profoundly significant, it caresses the essential superlative curves and lines. Light I acknowledge as the energy upon which all life on this planet depends.” LightInspirationEnergyLinesPlanetsDependsEssentialsPhotographyModelsPaintPhotographerSignificantAcknowledgeBrushesCurvesCaressSuperlatives Author:Ruth Bernhard
“Each time I make a photograph I celebrate the life I love and the beauty I know and the happiness I have experienced. All my photographs are made like that responding to my intuition... After all these years, I am still motivated by the radiance that light creates when it transforms an object into something magical. What the eye sees is an illusion of what is real. The black-and-white image is yet another transformation. What exactly exists, we may never know.” KnowsYearsMayMadeStillsRealLightEyeBlackWhiteObjectsIllusionTransformationPhotographIntuitionCelebrateMotivatedBlack And WhiteRespondingRadiance Author:Ruth Bernhard
“Light is my inspiration. My photographic images search for dimensions that words cannot touch- the result of intense responses to personal experiences. I do not wish to "record," but rather to touch upon the illusive meanings which I perceive and try to comprehend in this limitless universe.” TryingLightInspirationUniverseWishResultsRecordsPhotographyResponseIntensePerceiveDimensionsLimitlessPersonal Experiences Author:Ruth Bernhard
