Artist Statement:
Nature has
been a big part of my life from early childhood guided by my
nature loving parents. From the backseat of the car and camping
adventures, they showed us the beauty of the natural world.
Spiritual Truth.
I started
making pictures preteen in our crude basement darkroom. A red
light swung overhead of my developing trays (cereal bowls).
As an adult, I lived and traveled on a small sailboat for almost
20 years between Canada and the Caribbean, making photographs
above and below the ocean surface.
Traveling
by sailboat, foot, bike, car, being open to the natural world,
different cultures and experiences frame my life. Most of us
suffer from nature-deficit
disorder. Hopefully my visual depictions will take you there,
a little magic carpet ride.
In addition
to nature, Kirk Chamberlain has a passion for photographing
people, an eye for emotion, a connection. I specialize in lifestyles,
portraits and corporate. I am a full time photographer based
in Jacksonville, Florida where my studio is located.
