Henry Paine
Local fine-arts photographer Henry Paine returns to the Tidewater having been a featured artist in 2001 with an exhibit of his "Architectural Details" series. A master of the vision and techniques of black and white photography, his works show the nuances of light, shape, texture and form through pictorial design. Inspired by the infinite tonalities and luminosity of Ansel Adams' photographs, Henry taught himself the Zone System technique that was first developed by Adams.

The Zone System is the path from the photographer's vision to the final print, a philosophy of technique and approach, an attitude where the values of fine art and photographic science support the photographer's perception of the world in front of the camera.

Henry's works are primarily drawn from the local and regional geography of California.

Some of his work is pictured below. Click on photos below for larger view.
