Eric Seplowitz
Eric’s artwork; through the use of scale, light, focus, perspective, and composition; uncovers a hidden story so easily overlooked. From a marble to a piece of string, from a reflection in a river to a flower petal, from a rock sample to a piece of bark, Eric explores ways to expose and illuminate the beauty in the smaller elements of the subjects he photographs.
In his UnEarthed Series, rocks and minerals are Eric’s subjects. Each specimen provides new opportunities for exploration and reveals complex, vibrant, and often surprising micro-landscapes. These tiny mineral and rock structures are literally the building blocks for everything around us– they play a major part in how we relate with the world in which we live.
This series invites people to see things differently, to take a minute to travel with him through the realms of nature and explore what’s right in front of us, in a thought-provoking way.
Using a 50MP camera and macro lenses, Eric is able to reach a depth of detail in a tiny piece of nature that is easily overlooked by the human eye. Images can be from a single exposure or a composite of hundreds of photos each focused at a slightly different spot, bringing many layers into focus at the same time. The results are greater clarity in an abstract form, invoking the beauty and magnificence of nature on the smallest and grandest scale.
