Lance Patrick Pressl is a self-taught fine art photographer. He explores the interplay of lines, shadows and form. Some have suggested he sees the material world differently than others, which gives him the special ability to capture unique and compelling images. Every image captured is done with the intent to tell a story or evoke an emotion. Among his many interests, he is fascinated by the human body and uses traditional and nontraditional representations to capture the curiosity of his audience. A common feature of his work is the juxtaposition of a human figure with a single object to reveal new and unexpected relationships. Another stylistic feature of his work is his uncanny ability to see and capture a single part of a larger object or figure bringing a new perspective and importance to the parts that make up a whole. He often views the world through the lens of a sculptor, blending his love of Greco-Roman art with his imagery. With influences ranging from Victor Skrebneski and Ruth Bernhard to Helmut Newton, Pressl's work moves fluidly between surrealism and minimalism, sensuality and purity. Each photograph is a quiet provocation, a study in composition, and above all—a story. His work has been honored and presented in juried exhibitions, international competitions and fine art photography magazines.
