In a recent podcast, we were privileged to hear from the talented Julieanne Kost, Principal Evangelist for Photoshop and LIghtrom at Adobe Systems with an incredibly talented knack of digital imagery. In her work, Julieanne combines a passion for photography with a mastery of digital imaging techniques. With a degree in psychology, Julieanne constructs worlds similar enough to appear familiar, yet obviously an interpretation of the physical reality that surrounds us.
Over the past 20 years Julieanne has created libraries of individual elements ranging from photographs of textures and landscapes, to scans of found objects, to encaustic paintings and charcoal drawings. Although these ingredients are not an end in and of themselves, they are waiting to take their position as a component of a larger message. The common thread is that each individual element must evoke an emotional response. What that response might be (positive or negative, comforting or confrontational) is not important at the creation stage, because how the image will be used at that point is not clear. Julieanne draws from these libraries to build images and communicate her message.
To see more of her portfolio head to jkost.com, and definitely check out her Daily Photoshop and Lightroom Tip (blogs.adobe.com/jkost).
