Ann Bodan
USA / photographer
|
I have always loved art in all forms and as
a child I aspired to someday become a painter.
Unfortunately, I was not gifted with the ability
to draw so I had to turn my attentions elsewhere.
My love affair with photography began when I
was 14.
I was deeply fascinated with the way one could
capture the world, as it exists in one particular
moment on film. After graduating high school,
I decided to pursue my love of photography in
college, earning a Diploma in Commercial Photography
from Gwinnett Technical College in Atlanta,
Georgia. I spent two years working as an assistant
in a commercial studio and as a staff photographer
in a portrait studio, but I just wasn’t
satisfied with my career. I decided to refocus
my efforts on the work that I have always wanted
to do…fine art still life.
The works for Hans Neleman and Salvador Dali
are by far my favorite. I love how they express
their feelings through surreal settings or unusual
objects. In my own art, I strive to translate
emotion in a similar manner through still life

not about meaning. They are about sensations and
associations, with a reverence for the miniscule
and the light that reveals their hidden substance.
The image of glowing plastic hands perched on their
wooden base against black is captivating and remains
impressed in the mind as an homage to the insignificant
