A sequined gown sweeping across a freshly polished floor, street lights squiggling from the view of the driver's seat, urban imagery gets an abstract expressionist touch with Victoria Miller's painterly lens. The Bay Area-born artist incorporates the influence of emotive painters like Richard Diebenkornand Nathan Oliviera in her photographs of overlooked and unassuming moments, turning random fleeting moments into swells of vibrant intensity. Part of the “InMotion” series: This image of a singer on-stage; actually captured heading off-stage, waving the arms of her sparkling dress. The performance was at a charity fundraiser (for Dress for Success, a non-profit that helps women find jobs and remain employed). It was part of The Starlight Room in San Francisco’s renowned act “Sunday’s a Drag”, featuring Donna Sachet and other amazing local drag queens. Victoria finds ‘unintentional art’, or creates it. A peeling wall, wet rain gutter, a dumpster, well-worn truck, the ground at her feet; all are fodder for her in translating random occurances or juxtapositions into art of arresting beauty. These visions lift the banal to create images that appear grand or poetic. REFLECTIONS Shadows, mirrors, windows...the surprising confusion reflected imagery creates— is a fascination explored in this work. As a young art director on photo shoots, Miller found the process painstaking. In reaction, she engages in the spontaneous capture of sightings that grab her attention, and revels in some of the exact things advertising photography works hard to avoid. IN MOTION It is in this series, where Victoria extends the narrative to other human and animate subjects, that truly sets her work apart. Catching energy in motion, in low light at a dance performance or a charity gala with women sweeping by in colorful gowns, the impressionistic quality of her imagery, the soft, fluid effect—“tout est flou,“ or blurriness, evokes a provocative, alluring mood. “It’s about eternalizing that precise moment in time, she says, and capturing the essence of something that’s elusive; here, then gone... never to occur in the exact same way again.” * * All of the art is edited and chosen by us for its high quality and workmanship before posting.

Photography (derived from the Greek (phos), meaning "light", and (graphê), meaning "drawing, writing", together meaning "drawing with light") is the art, science, and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either chemically by means of a light-sensitive

Photography is the result of combining several technical discoveries. Long before the first photographs were made, Chinese philosopher Mo Di and Greek mathematicians Aristotle and Euclid described a pinhole camera in the 5th and 4th centuries BCE. In the 6th century CE, Byzantine mathematician Anthemius of Tralles used a type of camera obscura in his experiments, Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) (965–1040) studied the camera obscura and pinhole camera, Albertus Magnus (1193–1280) discovered silver nitrate, and Georg Fabricius (1516–71) discovered silver chloride. Techniques described in the Book of Optics are capable of producing primitive photographs using medieval materials.







material such as photographic film, or electronically by means of an image sensor. Typically, a lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects into a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed exposure. The result in an electronic image sensor is an electrical charge at each pixel, which is electronically processed and stored in a digital image file for subsequent display or processing.
