Allan Herman’s Summary

Being colour blind I have adapted the unique talent of viewing my images in my mind and heart first. If it feels right, then I transpose that image into film or digital format. I have been able to translate that skill into all of my work experiences I enjoy photography for which I can create visuals to express how I visualize the world around me as I see it. To coin an old cliché, "A photograph is worth a thousand words", and I have lots to say.

When it comes to photography, I will go to almost any means to capture that rare element of beauty I see emitting from my intended subject. Standing in front a fully loaded logging truck and moving at the last second; to standing on a small ledge 12,000 feet in the air on the side of a Mountain with nothing but a small tree to grasp behind me as I lean ever closer to the edge to capture the image that has caught my eye.
