The silhouettes in this photograph are absolutely stunning, although each of the birds is opaque, each still has a specific body language and individuality about them; to me the silhouettes almost personify the birds, which I find absolutely beautiful.

The “old feeling” in this image is a signature trait of Golden, the texture and the colors caused by it keep each and every image interesting, and in this case, adds to the concept I think when I see this. It’s almost showing freedom is a thing of the past, that to find it again we’re going to have to look at the past; but at the same time, there may have been no concept at all. But if you think of one, doesn’t that mean there is? Golden’s work always keeps me thinking.

“I find that I am almost disturbed by how much I like your work. It is obviously objectively good, but you seem able to infuse your work with a nostalgia and longing that I find very powerful.” - Dan Scott  

“when i share my pictures with people, I’m not sure if they really fully understand the feelings that i am trying to provoke. usually, i try to influence a sense of tragic calmness. i think that the juxtaposition of these two human experiences: tragedy and comfort/stillness/calm, are both beautiful and ever so powerful and dramatic.”

Blair Golden.

Blair Golden uses emotion over technicality in his photographs, he’ll take a photograph of anything he finds beautiful. Whether it be portraits, still life, or landscape, all of his pictures have a concept behind them, a story he rarely explains. He uses focus, saturation, and textures to accomplish and portray concepts in his images. He uses cameras such as the canon digital rebel xt, polaroid, and lomographic cameras.
