Eric Wiles
USA
Eric Wiles is an American photographer from
California who has managed to create a diverse and
thoughtful body of artistic work, one that focuses
mainly on depicting landscapes as well as objects
through a more personal and artistic point of view. His
body of work is defined by the technical expertise that
he has in the realm of photography, as well as the
conceptual and artistic depth that he showcases even
in the most simple photographs.
The primary focus of Wiles' work is the depiction of
landscapes. Thus it is an area which is familiar to this
artist and manages to handle it with extreme elegance
and technical skill. This is one of the main strengths of
Wiles, as his pictures are refined to the last pixel,
offering to the viewer an experience of
unprecedented clarity, an invitation to delve deep in
the very essence of the environment depicted and
thus manages to transcend on higher aesthetic
grounds.Wiles manages to include both aspects of landscape/
nature photography into his works, as he balances
between the aforementioned technical refinement and
the more purely artistic elements. These features that
enhance the creative side of his photos can be noted
through the way that he incorporates light, shades,
structural elements and color palette into his
photographs. Working with light and dark, Wiles seizes
any opportunity to include the various features
offered by passing clouds into his work and highlight
the dramatic character of the depicted landscape. It isby Yadira Roman
