How to Find Your Artistic Expression
Listen NOW…
Join us for the 6th episode in our series showcasing the passion found within today’s top photographers brought to Inside Digital Photo by Epson. This week, John Paul Caponigro, Photographer, Artist, Trainer, Canon Explorer of Light, PhotoShop Hall of Famer, and Epson Stylus Pro joins host Scott Sheppard for an inside look on what inspired him to dedicate his work to life behind the lens.
Most people would say that John Paul’s fate was sealed following his renowned father Paul Caponigro’s black and white “silver†photography work but he also credits much to his mother Eleanor Morris Caponigro who is a painter and graphic designer who worked closely with her husband and many other noted artists of the time including Eliot Porter and Georgia O’Keefe.
John Paul considers himself an artist who uses photography as one of his tools of expression and communication. Growing up among some of the photo greats taught him many techniques, but also the limitations of traditional film photography and ultimately inspired him to embrace the latest digital technology to create his visions. Having experienced many visually enticing influences over the years John Paul has seen many sacred connections to our environment and believes his current quest is to discover a re-enchantment of nature which is evident in his signature work.
John Paul shares some tips and techniques to find your own photographic vision and warns aspiring photographers not to become limited by the “rulesâ€. He feels that by stepping outside predefined concepts one might find new avenues for artistic creativity. John Paul’s studio also includes a gallery, which he often visits to recharge his energy and gather his thoughts to prepare for his next assignment and project. He also explains his passion for creative output options available in today’s digital workflows and often explores different mediums of paper, ink, and printer combinations to showcase his images.
