Bob Buchanan, Yorktown NY USA Member Since October 2006 Artist Statement , I began to shoot art to satisfy my creative soul. My intention was to put together a portfolio which could prove that I'm capable of shooting more than just what was assigned. My clients began to purchase my portfolio shots for their walls. My work has been hung in many Soho galleries and is included in the private collection of many Prestigious collectors and gallery owners, including the white house I have received numerous awards. I enjoy sharing his art with others; it inspires me to keep creating.
I approach photography as everything else, I must always keep improving. You can't stand still, the day you feel your the best you can be if you feel you no longer can need to improve is the day you stop growing.
I have begun to venture into new areas of creativity, I've written 2 books, being shopped to agents, with 3 others started. I'm also is working as an associate producer on Indy films.
