Description

This 1 of 1 NFT photograph was created using the light painting method. The light structures were drawn in the scene with a handmade light creating the illusion of an art installation in the forest. The image captures the performance of the artist and his lights and serves as proof of the art piece rather than the function of being the art piece. This image is a record of the art performed by the artist and it represents roughly 6 minutes in time. Size 2592 × 3888px Photographs by Trevor Williams AKA Tdub, an NFT collection that showcases his more than two decades of opening the aperture to capture luminescent energy in all its form. Tdub is originally from Vancouver, Canada and has lived in Japan for the past 20 years with his Wife and two boys. An artistic and commercial photographer commissioned by Getty Images, whose pieces are regularly used by major brands and news agencies globally - Apple, Adidas, The New York Times and Microsoft to name a few. This artistic curation spans from his early works in the light painting scene, that firmly placed him in the genre as an innovator and educator. To his captivating images of bioluminescent creatures on land and sea. Including all things bright in the sky, near, and light-years away. One thread that runs deep in all Tdub’s photographs is his use and manipulation of light. Viewers unfamiliar with Tdub’s techniques, upon first glance, often find themselves taking a few extra seconds before their brain deciphers, what it is, it is looking at - this is by design. The viewer is then left with more questions than answers. Yet, while Tdub’s primary aim is for perplexity to reign in the mind of the viewer - there are also other things at play. Many of his shoots start with an idea to solve a problem and end habitually with a story being made through his creative process. Not to mention, the numerous lighting inventions that were derived as a result - and later used by others in the industry. One thing that you can be sure of as a viewer of Tdub’s photographs - is that you will be stuck pondering the story that lies within. Allow him to take you on this archival journey called FANTASTICAL LIGHT.
