For over 30 years, Howard Austin Feld has produced photographs from the demure to the erotic. His work has been featured in numerous national and international magazines, TV shows and has clients from around the world.

At first you might notice only skin, but there are many layers to the beauty of his work. Having studied and taught Figure Drawing (drawing from nude male and female models) for the past twenty years, I can tell you he is capturing form and content. His nudes are not “naked.” They are in fact forms placed in compositions that are complex, vibrant and juxtaposed with surprise elements. Where there are voids, there is an abstract composition, as well. When describing composition, the not-so-obvious has to be identified and that would be the relationship with positive and negative space (the main subject and the rest of the space). More elements to consider are the relationships between Foreground, Middleground, and Background and the parallel planes they are all on (I will end the Art jargon right here, except to relay that he knows what he is doing folks). I tell all of my students that a work of Art is successful if it commands your attention, isn’t that the reason why we buy Art in the first place?

Mr. Feld has certainly accomplished the artform of memorable retention of an image. Howard has photographed numerous subjects from people to places and things. Photos of Nature and Cityscapes are also part of his stellar and vast portfolio. He is undoubtedly a master at Photography and can therefore, play with it! He is gracious as he is talented, the photographer offers workshops to teach novices and professionals alike. I can relate to Howard, although we have yet to meet, as he is in essence a teacher. Even on his Facebook photos, he has tips on how to take photographs when rolling over his images with a computer mouse. I consider him to be a dedicated person who is secure enough with his incredible knowledge of an artform that he is willing to teach his tips and tricks to those who might otherwise, need years to learn the ropes.  For those interested in taking classes with Howard Austin Feld you will truly gain new insight into the world of Photography.
