Perry James Photography
Perry J Locke is a native Floridian with a passion for photography.
The abundance of wetlands, woodlands and wildlife within Florida provide him many opportunities to pursue his passions.
While growing up, he could be found camping, horseback riding and swimming with family and friends, where he gained a great appreciation for the environment.
For as long as he can remember he has been aware of the environment and the beauty it provides us.
”I enjoy the whole process of photography, from working in the studio with a client for a portrait session, to arising early in the morning to capture the moment when the light the tones and the shapes are just right, sometimes returning many times to the same location in order to capture what I had envisioned in my mind. I am continually striving for perfection to capture that moment in the camera, to convey that instant of time to you the viewer of my photographs”.
Along with his ultimate respect and appreciation for nature, Perry has also found a way to incorporate “green” into his work. One of Perry’s unique ideas is using wooden pallets, the pallets used for hauling sod as an example, as picture frames. Once the rough, very rough in some instances, are brought to the studio, Perry starts the long tedious process of disassembling the pallets and choosing the pieces he feels will best complement the photograph to be used in the frame. After choosing the perfect piece, they are than hand sanded to bring out the unique traits of the wood. Linseed oil is then applied by hand and allowed to dry for several hours. This process can occur many times until he feels the wood will fully complement the image that is going into the frame. The frame is then fitted together around the matted picture it is to be used with. The finished product is a one of a kind picture frame which has taken many hours along with Perry’s passion built into it.
Perry’s work has appeared in calendars and many of his photographs are in private collections. And the National Wildlife Federation has recognized some of his avian photography.
Some of his work is on display at Frames of Mind Art Gallery and he has also been published in the 2007 edition Expressions magizine published by the North American Nature Photography Association.
Perry uses an Epson 3800 Stylus printer using Ultrachrome K3 pigmented inks,
on Museo Silver Rag Cotton paper and also Epsons Exhibition Fiber paper for
his portraiture work.
“It is my hope to provide you with a photograph that you and those around you will enjoy each and every day”.
