Jim McCormick

Richmond, VA, United States

My expressive voice is a blend of chemistry, physics, and photographic art. I conduct experiments with four elements–oil, inks, glass, and air–then capture their fleeting evolutions with a macro lens. I explore how light bends, reflects or refracts in, and through, the materials and highlight the wonderful microstructures that are hidden to the naked eye. As a physician and scientist it has always been important to control as many variables as possible. Abstract photography allows me to embrace spontaneity, letting the process reveal itself. By pushing the boundaries of habitual perception, I seek to move the viewer beyond their normal experiences and open new avenues for diversion and discovery.
