Armed with his Canon 6D and a myriad
of editing software including Photoshop,
Lightroom, Topaz Labs, Filter Forge, and
Alien Skin, Sturman works hard to achieve
the perfect shot. “My creative process may
involve thirty or forty steps in assembling the
components of an edit,” Sturman shared. “The
innumerable variables almost always leave me
questioning the final results in some way.”
Although much of his art involves
manipulation and post-production editing,
Sturman’s graphic style evolved from
something more organic. Photographing
nude models provided building blocks for his
art, while Sturman’s interest in the industrial
inspired additional creative aspects. “From
grudge industrial to nature’s surfaces, the final
work is a pastiche; an homage to the world
surrounding us via its infusion into the human
shape,” Sturman explained.
