Where the light meets the edge

James Torrenzano’s photography has been influenced by his personal journey to “seek” the light. “What is Essential is Invisible to the Eye,” a valedictorian speech that continues to shape James’ photo journey. It is here, inside the invisible, that I shape the light to meet the edge of form and create a symphony for the viewer.
“Each home I photograph, I envision how light interacts with the form.  What light will show the craft of the builder; how will color shape emotion and how furniture plays with movement. Each of these form an interplay that creates an essence of an image for the viewer to be swept away by the possibilities”
