Fine Art Photography

The Work of Roarke Sharlow

Light, both soft and hard, illuminating the surfaces of a subject and creating deep, rich shadows is critical for me to create emotions and moods within a photograph. These moods and emotions invite the observer into the photograph to become one with the image.

Roarke in Action

I work with strong, striking compositions to create limited edition photographic prints. Creating an emotional balance within each piece permits me to bring forth the image’s technical and emotional qualities. The play of light and shadow across textural surfaces offers the opportunity to develop strong tactile qualities.

In addition to the traditional black and white image, using a variety of alternative photographic techniques often permits me to develop even stronger mood and emotion. High quality production techniques result in archival photographs that will last a lifetime and increase in value.
