jill merriam, fine art photographer and owner of shell systems ltd. - a photographic arts studio + gallery in richmond, virginia - specializes in a uniquely developed and executed style of digital photomontage. her work focuses predominantly on architecture, entropy, and urban revitalization – in encouraging the viewer to really notice the details in their surroundings. the photograph is enhanced with rich color palettes, textures, and often montaged elements; helping one to discover underlying metaphors portraying intersections of life: old + new, sleek + edgy, life + death, growth + decay, chaos + order… new images from provence (and some in the canal walk series) are not montaged; instead, the photograph itself is more predominant. colors, contrast, and textures are simply enhanced to urge the viewer to notice beauty and details everywhere in life’s paths.
