Over the past twenty-eight years, while walking a self-discovery path, my methodology has taken numerous detours. It is a journey that has refined a relaxed subconscious attitude, with a desire to express simplicity and honesty through my work. For me, a photograph holds an undeniable sense of realism, a new correlation that is easy to associate with. I see I understand; I experience, I connect. In my photography, I allow day to day life to inspire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eARTIST COLLABORATION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo us, photography is a reality driven medium that unlocks the expressive depths of art. We consider the camera and lens as mere instruments within the creative process. In our work, we strive to convey emotion and design rather than illustration. With the power to transform a subject in a matter of seconds, light to us is the mystical and elusive element to be pursued and captured. As father and daughter, we are truly blessed to be able to share this creative world together. Our gallery is a sanctuary, a place where we can display our emotions on a wall and share our passion for art and photography with you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Osner","offers":[{"title":"60cm x 40cm \/ 24\" x 16\"","offer_id":39345064706223,"sku":"","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"90cm x 60cm \/ 35\" x 24\"","offer_id":39345064738991,"sku":"","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120cm x 80cm \/ 47\" x 31\"","offer_id":39345064771759,"sku":"","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0534\/4637\/7647\/products\/NelsonMandelaPortrait218.jpg?v=1615344976"}],"url":"https:\/\/osnerartgallery.com\/collections\/nelson-mandela.oembed","provider":"Osner Art Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
