Sandy Ostroff
Artist's Statement
As a Fine Art Photographer, I strive to capture images that will tell a story, find beauty, something strange or unusual.
The photograph should convey emotions or expose the viewer to a new experience sometimes discovered in a foreign country or in my own backyard.
With the addition of curiosity, knowledge of my craft, imagination and a discerning eye, I hope to make my work memorable.
