About Artist

Heidi Egerman

As a fine art garden photographer, my work is inspired by my love and passion for both gardening and photography. I have always enjoyed the quiet, serene nature of gardening, and I love the fact that I can cultivate something beautiful from a simple seed. My garden has been the nourishment that inspired my growing passion for photography. Today, my images continue to reflect that which got me started in the first place – my garden here in Eagle, Idaho. Over the past several years I’ve spent time learning and perfecting my light painting skills. I love the drama and versatility of this technique. For this light painting technique, the camera set to a long exposure in a very dark room. A single light source, usually a flashlight, is used to ‘paint’ the scene with the light. Using this technique, I can emphasize the portions of the scene I want to bring out, leaving in shadows those I want more subdued. This style of still life photography often resembles the paintings of the Dutch Masters.
