Joe BiberPhotography is my way of expressing how I perceive world I live in. My
photographs are usually compositions of a part of a whole but through the framing of
my lens I seek to create a new whole that tells a story. This is my way of having a
conversation without words -- the photo needs to communicate a feeling or a story. I
envision my film, whether it be true film or a digital sensor, as a canvas that I paint
with light. I look at photographs as something made, not simply taken. I start with a
completely blank “canvas”. Then I add information to it with controlled and intentional
light. Photographs freeze a moment in time and make that moment iconic; a fraction
of a second in millions that instantly becomes heroic, almost monumental. I like to
photograph scenes that speak to me on some narrative level…pictures that tell a bit
of a story. It can be an abstract notion like "flying"…illustrating a girl's hair, or a bird's
wings, each suggesting freedom or possibility. Or it can simply be an image that
conveys an idea without showing the whole thing; a line along the top of a female
body, or a world within the colored iris of an eye. It is important for me to present the
world I observe in a way that's uniquely mine, and to get the viewer to see what I see,
to feel what I want them to feel.
