Black sand, jutting rocks, and fantastical landscapes transform Jess in Iceland into a seemingly imagined scene. Her supple features serve as a counter to hard edges and sharp protrusions of her landscape, and her isolation makes her seem all the more vulnerable to the viewer's probing eyes. About the Artist Craig Colvin is an award winning photographer and educator based in San Jose, CA. Craig's primary focus is using the human body as art. This is expressed in many forms but his goal is to use the body to mimic the shapes and curves that are found in nature. This might be the gentle slope of a sand dune, a curve of a rock, or the rolling hills of a mountain range. Making a body conform to natural formations re-enforces this similarity between the nature of the body and the nature of the land.

Craig's work has been published in numerous magazines and books, and exhibited in galleries and shows worldwide. He teaches photography workshops throughout the US and online photography courses through This Week in Photography School. more »
