Mit
Hilfe einer kompletten Reduktion auf die beiden Farben
Schwarz und Weiß, auf den Zustand Hell und Dunkel und
auf Licht und Schatten gelingt es dem New Yorker
Photographen Woody Hayman, sich komplett auf das
wesentliche seiner Bildkompositionen zu konzentrieren.
Seinem künstlerischen Grundkonzept vergleichbar ist nur
noch das Schattenspiel, der Scherenschnitt oder die
Lithographie. Das Beeindruckende an seinen Aufnahmen ist
die Tatsache, daß diese – obwohl von jeglichen Farben
und Grautönen befreit – äußerst filigran und reich
an Details wirken. Ein wirklich faszinierendes Oeuvre.

Hi, I'm Woody. I was
born in upstate N.Y. in 1957. My first interest in
photography was at age 5. There is a photo of me in an
old family
album photographing a rustic barn with my dad's
camera. At age 13 I
bought some used darkroom equipment for $100.00. I
then learned to
develop and print black and white pictures. I took a
photography class
in high school. I continued to learn photography on my
own after
moving to Georgia at 15. I started a two year
class in graphic arts my
junior year. After Graduating it was off to
college. With all the technical
stuff behind me, I still had a yearning to learn
the"art" of photography.
It was by chance that I met a photographer named
"Nate" whose style I
really liked. One thing led to another and I ended up
going to his studio
two nights a week for a year. He taught me how to see
with that "third eye"
to pre-visualize my final photograph, before ever
loading film in my camera.
In 1980 I started my own studio, Shadows & Shapes
Photography Studio. Since then I've taught photography
classes and
my photos have won many awards. I have done
several shows and have
had my work displayed in galleries in New York,
Georgia, Florida and
California. Over 100 photos of my bikers lifestyles
photos have been
published in most all the major motorcycle magazines.
Today I'm on the
world wide web. I hope you enjoy looking at my gallery
of photographs.
