About the Artist:
Alan is a long time Westchester resident. He met his wife, Annette, in the Bronx when he was 9 years old, and they were married 10 years later. Early on, his photography was mostly an attempt to fulfill a particular vision that might be described as surrealistic or psychedelic. These attempts were marginally successful and led to unsatisfactory conclusions.
When digital cameras and Photoshop came on the scene, it was a game changer. It opened the doors to a vast new landscape of visual possibilities. These new tools broadly enhanced the ability to do extreme editing which encouraged greater creativity.
Photography is mostly reality based, but, his work leans more toward contemporary art which for years has redefined the art world through continuous experimentation. He is self taught in computer visual arts and continually attempts to evolve in the field. Alan has exhibited in solo and group shows, in public spaces, galleries, and museums. He has mentored individuals in Photoshop and related computer applications.
Alan is currently retired from a long career in dentistry and continues to move forward, exploring an expanded range of photographic arts in the digital world.
