Billy Newman studied at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California. He has had numerous shows, and his work is placed in several prominent collections. Most of Billy's past work has been in exploring dynamic compositions found in urban abstracts, but just recently he began aiming his lens at nature. Through forests, meadows, and colorful undergrowth, he reveals the mysterious images overlooked by our mundane daily vision
Billy Newman's images are all "straight photography". He captures them through conventional camera equipment, with conventional lenses and film. After the film is processed, he scans the negatives into digital format. In order to obtain greater control over tone and color, Billy adjusts the digitized images and then prints them through an archival inkjet process. The final prints are faithful reproductions of the original negatives or transparencies.
