Interpretations: Photographs By Jeff McDonald

Available on Blurb as a 44-page softcover edition , or a 90-page deluxe hardcover edition . Both editions are printed on the same highest quality pearl photo paper. Individual fine art prints, personally printed and signed by me, are also available. Please contact me for details.

These are creative interpretations of some of my favorite landscape and travel photographs from over the years. My goal in developing this collection has been to explore alternative methods of storytelling through photography.

Taking inspiration from the subject and composition of photography, the sharpness and precision of illustration, the soft focus of mild abstraction, and the rich textures and washes of color found in painting, in this case mainly watercolor painting, I set off to crystallize a vision, practice techniques to use in realizing that vision, and, ultimately, to create a body of work centered on that vision.

The photographs in the collection come from different times and locations and they depict various subjects. What brings them together is how well they lent themselves to this approach.
