RICHARD NEWMAN
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and now live in Beaverton and Gearhart, Oregon. As a kid growing up, I always loved the photographs in Life magazine. These pictures reached out from all parts of the world and showed both the beauty in landscapes as well as the reality of life.
In high school and college I was a photographer for my newspaper and yearbook. In my senior year of high school I was the Assistant Photographer for the City of Cleveland and learned the fine art of photography and darkroom applications.
I especially like to take pictures of landscapes, nature, sports and historical objects. I am fascinated with the various textures that nature has provided. Currently I enjoy using aluminum, glass and wood to enhance the composition of my work for people to enjoy! "Photography is not a job for me, it is a passion for capturing memories”
I have traveled to Europe 8 times and visited 29 countries which has given me the settings for some of my best photographs. In addition, I travel the entire West taking pictures allowing me to enjoy the outdoors and nature. Once photographed, all of my post work is done on my computer in Beaverton.
At the Trail’s Ends’ annual juried show in 2014, I received the Best of Show Award for my photograph of the Portland Marquee on aluminum. My photographs are hung in various coffee shops in Beaverton, and I developed my own website located at www.window-to-the-world-photography.com. Recently my photographs of the Bridge of Sighs and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in black and white were sold to ABC television and used on the Criminal Minds TV show. My photographs are also offered on Etsy under the shop Newman48.
