He says: "I had never thought of myself as any kind of artist. I've always been very technical, and felt I would be some kind of scientist. Initially my interest in photography grew from its technical complexity. Sometime in college, something changed. Ever since then if you ask me what I do, I say, "I'm a fine art photographer." I discovered that, to most people, the human form is the most beautiful and compelling subject. One way or another it touches all of us. For that reason, I choose to capture that beauty and present it disconnected from connotations of sexuality, identity, and emotion and present only the aesthetic element. Either way, I don't want to be sterile. I want to provoke and stimulate. To inspire. My work is very much a collaboration of model and photographer. I spend great time and effort inventing new ways to capture a unique image. I try to keep the vision vague until the model inspires me. The model’s form and movement bring energy, temperament, and aesthetic complexity. In this fusion I see the moment that makes me release the shutter. Just a few of these moments survive and are refined to become finished work.

Mfenberg Matthew Scherfenberg artista | Profesional | Fotografía Estados Unidos Dice Matthew: "nunca había creído de mí mismo como cualquier tipo de artista. Siempre he sido muy técnico y sentí sería una especie de científico. Inicialmente mi interés por la fotografía crecieron a partir de su complejidad técnica. En algún momento en la Universidad, algo cambió. Desde luego si me preguntan lo que hago, digo, "yo soy un fotógrafo de Bellas Artes". Descubrí que, a la mayoría de las personas, la forma humana es el sujeto más hermosa y atractivo. Una u otra forma afecta a todos nosotros. Por ello, decido capturar esa belleza y actualidad desconectado de connotaciones de sexualidad, identidad y emoción y presentar sólo el elemento estético. De cualquier manera, no quiero ser estéril. Quiero provocar y estimular. Para inspirar. Mi trabajo es mucho una colaboración de la modelo y fotógrafo. Dedico gran tiempo y esfuerzo inventar nuevas maneras de capturar una imagen única. Trato de mantener la visión vaga hasta que me inspira el modelo. El modelo de la forma y movimiento de traen energía, temperamento y complejidad estética. En esta fusión, veo el momento en que me hace liberar el obturador. Algunos de estos momentos sobreviven y son refinadas para convertirse en obra terminada". Residencia actual: Minneapolis, MN fotógrafo favorito: Edward Weston, Imogen Cunningham, Will Agar sistema operativo: X el bebé, no BS MS en mi radio Shell de elección: Bash favorito personaje de caricatura: dos palabras "Flujo modulador" cita Personal: no creen, saben o no saben o nunca se sabe. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
