Art and Photography

By Emmett Loverde

Mr. Loverde's artistic and photographic training and accomplishments date back to his single-digit years. He began drawing and painting when he was old enough to hold a crayon, and bought his first camera (a Kodak X-15F) at age 11. Not content with the results he was receiving from photo labs, he began printing his own black and white images at middle school age and had a color darkroom set up in his garage by high school.

Eagerly embracing new technologies as soon as they arrived on the market, as well as exploring the glories of established crafts and processes, Mr. Loverde purchased Minolta's pioneering multi-mode XD-11 35mm camera soon after its introduction. While creating literally thousands of images with that machine, he also worked for UCLA as a staff photographer, darkroom technician, and as a writer and photographer for the Daily Bruin. Many of his images were published and circulated to thousands of readers in and outside the UCLA community.

When computer imaging technology came of age, Mr. Loverde was there to greet it. He cut his teeth on Silicon Beach Software's groundbreaking black and white image processing software Digital Darkroom and quickly mastered Adobe Photoshop 1.0 as soon as he could get his hands on it. He still has his first dye-sublimation print, an experiment from 1990 that then cost $35 (and could now be printed at higher resolution for about $.50).

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this new technology for Mr. Loverde is the opportunity to synthesize the photographic and the digital without having to accept "digital" results. "The beauty of digital image manipulation and printing," he notes, "lies in its astonishing -- and ever-improving -- capacity to mimic traditional mechanical and chemical processes. The things I can do in seconds on a computer: sepia toning, solarization, cyanotyping, duotones, tritones, masking, dodging, burning, oil tinting, color correction, etc., would have taken me hours in the darkroom and cost me hundreds of dollars in chemicals and equipment -- if I could have managed to do them at all. And most of those chemicals were not only stinky, but deadly poisonous." He also relishes the opportunity he now has to revisit many of his older images and perfect them by scanning them then recomposing, color-correcting, and/or combining them.

Another exciting opportunity offered by digital technology allows Mr. Loverde to graft his love of painting and drawing onto his photographic images. Not only is he able to add photorealistic elements to his photographs, but he is also able to use his photographs as the basis for digital paintings that are neither painting nor photo but an exciting new art form.

All images are printed on high quality heavyweight glossy stock and include a money-back guarantee or free replacement. All images are personally printed and signed by Mr. Loverde. All images are copyrighted by the artist.
