About the Artist

The landscapes of Estonian/Canadian photographer Erik Kerstenbeck have a sense of depth and subtle range of color that makes the viewer feel as if they’re standing in his shoes and experiencing the environment as he did when he meticulously executed the composition. From beach scenes to cityscapes, this artist possesses the ability to capture something unusual and intriguing in every photograph.

As an engineer and artist, Erik sees light from a technical and emotional perspective. Thinking about the way light navigates around a landscape helps him to visualize how best to capture that light and create his stunning compositions. All of the resulting photographs are printed on paper which is chosen to enhance the three-dimensional appearance of the print, making the colors brighter, and more vivid. The high quality paper that Erik uses makes it appear as if the scene were backlit. Through continued travel, exploration, innovation and the application of new techniques, Erik hopes his art will make people smile and pause... and take a second look… and then another.

About the Exhibition

Illumination: an Exhibition of Fine Art Photography presents the striking, stunning and unforgettable images crafted by talented contemporary fine art photographers. These artists use a range of methods to achieve their effects, with some embracing digital technology and its possibilities, and others preferring to remain loyal to the richness of more traditional methods. Each artist puts great thought and care into composing each aspect of their image, without compromising a sense of spontaneity and openness to their surroundings. The result is enormously appealing and often entirely immersive, as if the viewer is being offered an entry into a world which is encapsulated in the magic of the image before them.
