Photographs by Nick Kiest

About the Artist

Born and raised in San Francisco, California, I have been working with photography and digital imaging for the last 8 years. I am currently a Senior at the University of Puget Sound and in charge of photographs for the school newspaper and yearbook for the last two years.

Thoughts on Photography

I find digital photography has allowed myself to better represent the reality of what the human eye can see, capturing the detail in shadows far beyond what the chemistry of film can capture and allowing more accurate color representation under ever changing lighting. These images are my best attempt to capture the fleeting interplay of light and matter.

About the Photographs

All of the photos were captured with Canon Digital SLRs and are printed by Epson Professional printers with archival grade pigment inks onto either 100% cotton rag or archival RC luster paper, depending on the image. All photos are available in other sizes, with or without frames and with a turnaround time of less than a week in most circumstances.
