Description: A black-and-white landscape photograph of sunrays filtering down through the trees over a mountain stream. Claire Trotter is a native of the Pacific Northwest and livesin Eugene, Oregon. She acquired her basic skills in photography while apprenticed to a commercial photographer in Chicago. Her photographs are a kind of visual haiku. In a simple statement these pictures can suggest realities beond ordinary perception. Her subject is usually nature, celebrating natural light and shadow on rocks, reeds, sand, driftwood, ice, leaves, things we usually pass without seeing. She Works mainly in black and white, using Linhof, Leica and Alpa cameras, and is intensely involved in the entire photographic process from compostion through printing. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in the United States and Europe, has been published in hournals devoted to the arts, and is represented in both public and private collections.
