And the winner is…
By Rita Button
Congratulations to Kristin Ross who has been taking pictures for 43 years since she was eight. A purist, she connects to what is natural, and, for example, will wait for someone to move a vehicle in order to get the shot of a totally natural environment. Not keen on Photoshop, she delays her shot until the light is right for her to get the picture she wants.
Light is of particular interest. Her parents gave her a series on Monet that showed his works in different light at different times of the day. Kristin has tried the same technique of photographing the same subject at various times and seasons to reveal the impact of light on the viewer’s response to the image. As well, she used black and white film for a while in her experimentation with the impact of light on a subject.
