EVE NAGODE
I like to tell stories. I treat my subjects like digital paintings inspired by real-life events. Careful thought is put into composition, texture, color, and light. Themes range from the beautiful changing light at the Royal Gorge to jubilant wild polar bears playing in the snow. If my photographs speak to the viewer on an emotional level or bring back a personal memory, then I have succeeded in my work. I graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Photography and worked in photography and graphic arts studios.
3rd St Gallery in Westcliffe, Colorado, represents my work.
