T. Evan Kovasi
Born and raised in the hills of Northern California, Evan grew up steeped in the majestic beauty offered by the outdoors. Free to roam the countryside he developed a deep sense of appreciation for the ephemeral and episodic displays of the natural world. From a young age he would borrow his parents’ camera to take picture after picture of the sunset, the clouds, the spring flowers.
Though photography was always on the back burner it wasn’t until after graduating from college that Evan purchased his first DSLR. His passion for documenting our planet escalated quickly from that point. Self-taught, he would spend hours learning every aspect of his camera and the science of digital photography.
Today, his combination of technical expertise and artistic liberty are the genesis of works that sometimes look more like paintings than traditional landscape photography.
Artist’s Statement
Photography has always had a grip on me. Of the many eclectic paths I have pursued, this is the one that always seems to be able to hold my interest. It's not just the act of taking the picture, it's the whole process: exploring amazing places full of interesting people and things; the technical aspect of milling up a new photography gizmo in the workshop; the digital darkroom, the hours spent in front of a monitor tweaking colors and fighting with software, scripting automated workflow while retaining control over every detail of the process... All of this is fantastically engaging and at the end of it, if I’ve done it right, I wind up with not only a captured memory but a work of art to put on the wall and share with the world.
I have put some of my favorite images on this site. Take a look around and see if anything strikes your interest.
