Photographer Angelina McCormick captures the fleeting beauty of the world around her through the lens of the camera. Transfering these images from reality to film, she negotiates her inner emotions, conflicts, and thoughts. Although her photographs always portray external subjects, they originate within her spirit, existing as concrete representations of her interior thoughts. Working from the concept that art is dependant on contradictions: light and dark, hard and soft, still and moving, McCormick's photographs possess a sophisticated sense of balance, illustrated in her masterful use of negative space. Each subject, be it a human figure or a single flower, gracefully intertwines with empty spatial fields, creating visually stunning and graphic shapes imbued with an almost spiritual organic quality.
Born in Ontario, Canada, Angelina McCormick is continually inspired by the experiences and emotions of her daily life. After graduating with honors from The School of Photographic Arts in Ottawa, McCormick now shares her deep artistic knowledge as an instructor of the highly regarded institution.
