VIRTUAL IMAGE can have several meanings:
- an image of an object seen in a mirror – a reflection of reality
- the image of a scene in one's mind
- the latent image produced by light focused on a piece of film
- a digital image stored on a computer chip
When subject, composition, lighting, and technique come together in a pleasing way they are first captured as a VIRTUAL IMAGE. This image is then the basis from which an interesting and meaningful real image is made.
Presented here are some of my more interesting and hopefully meaningful images.
