Ice Glaxies OpenSea Collection

This moody daisy stood in it's plastic prison awaiting to be bought and displayed in someone's vase. It lost some petals and began to die, so it was being collected by the worker at the store. The entire bouquet headed to a tomb with the other trash. So, I paid $2, and brought the whole thing home and photographed it's dramatic demise. It's beauty will live forever, immortally captured. It's physical life has faded and disappeared, but here, in this image, it shines precious.

Daisy

Using a makeshift dash mount out of beanies to create the angle, I set out onto the Vegas Strip and began photographing the lights as I drove. Steadying the the camera with one hand and steering with the other, I would time the traffic movement, stop lights and uncontrollable factors to create images that require one to dive deep in their imagination and daydream. The kaleidoscope of lights collide in interesting designs and laser like streaks that accurately represent the furious blur a trip to Vegas ends up being. It is an amazing world and time to be alive



Vegas 4

There are times within out lives we may feel our light isn't seen. That we are invisible and outshined by all life's many distractions, living in the margins. Not true. Let your light shine. A single spark can ignite a fire. You are that spark. You are that fire. 

When we are cold, we pray for fire, heat. In this collection, captured at macro level we see matches ignite and explode into flames. Using white balance, lighting and other settings, these images capture the beauty of a single spark, setting aflame stick matches. I used 4-10 stick matches and photographed them from spark to flame out. It took over a thousand matches to create this collection. Some of the flames appear to be alive. Some of the flames appear to be violently exploding. Handheld camera work, the explosions created by the matches often left my face pocked with small burns. Beautiful. It is my intention with these images to remind us that each of us has a spark waiting to ignite. We are not alone.


Pyrographic 7

I know that what I know is that I don’t know what I don’t know. Do not change for me. The version of you, you currently are is only the version of who you are right now. We are where we are because where we are is right where we are meant to be. We are designed to feel. We are designed to live and love, so celebrate, who we know we are. 

A fallen leaf, it found it's way to the ground where it survived the weather, footsteps, the groundskeepers rake and whole bunch of things out of it's control that could destroy it. I found it on a sidewalk where I scooped it from the ground and brought it home to be photographed. a short time before it was a brilliant green adding color to the tree where it lived, doing what leafs do, feeding life. It's final thrill on it's journey of life, in front of my lens to be captured evermore in wonder and awe. 


Flawed 4

This piece was created utilizing a 2.5"x2.5" cube of ice. 4 days using an eye-dropper with various colored dyes, freezing, then thawing to create the textures and bubbles, refreezing and then 1 solid day to solidly freeze, all before 1 photograph was taken. The cube is then placed on a holder I constructed myself from a variety of tall, plastic storage containers and recycled materials (different heights depending on the beginning opacity of the piece) and then it is allowed to melt naturally, at it's own pace and photographed during the transformation. Also, I will post on Twitter @bryansteffy a few images of the process of photographing the setup, lens I use, lighting, etc.
