Ayana Chavis - Weekly Artist Post

Mark Raymond Mason






Mason seems to use a digital camera with decreased focal length. Because his photography is usually abstract he utilizes depth of field somewhat closely with his images being of better quality. The orientation is a mix between portrait and landscape, which seems to depend on what exactly he is framing in the photo.

Mason's work is almost entirely abstract. Use of color and texture are big themes in his photos. These aspects are what add interest. How different objects that have color and texture come together is what he uses to create a scene.

Personally, I love Mason's play on the blues in his photos especially because cobalt blue is one of my favorite colors. The color is of a darker shade but is still so vibrant. Considering our current project on light and color I feel as though he is the perfect example of such topics. His blend of color, texture and light really draws one in, hence why I put five photos instead of the normal three. I could not choose!
