Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This black and white photograph depicts a vast, turbulent seascape. The composition is dominated by waves, which appear as a series of undulating lines and textures that fill the frame. The use of high contrast and minimal tones creates a sense of depth and drama, drawing the viewer into the expressive, almost abstract nature of the scene. The artist's technique evokes the raw power and unpredictability of the ocean, inviting the viewer to contemplate the sublime and mysterious aspects of the natural world. ...

Elle Pérez
Artist
Elle Pérez
B.1989, American

Elle Pérez is a photographer who creates deeply meditative and intimate portraits of their peers and equally beguiling tableaux of landscapes. Drawing on the traditions of American Landscape painting and photography and the specific practices of photographers such as Ansel Adams, William Eggleston, Peter Hujar and Nan Goldin, Pérez has an innate ability to capture the poetic sensibility of people and places. Playing with focus, crop and colour grading, the images tenderly navigate the intricacies of queer relationships, the dynamics of chosen families and the resonance of natural environments. Shooting both in New York City and in woodlands, lakes and boglands, the contents of their images shift dramatically, from domestic portraits of lovers to knotted tree roots or disused door frames. What remains a constant, however, is an absolute adoration of material surfaces. Commenting on this fascination, Pérez states, “surfaces have the ability to contain the traces of an experience”, and this search for raw emotional authenticity permeates Pérez’s oeuvre as they capture and uncover traces of intimacy. ...
