Douglas Beasley’s personal vision explores the spiritual aspects of people and place. His photography is concerned with how spirit is recognized and expressed in everyday life. Exhibited and published internationally, grants and commissions fund much of his personal work. He is the director of Vision Quest Photo Workshops and creator of Vision Quest Photo Assignment Cards. His extensive teaching experience includes numerous workshops worldwide which always emphasize heart, soul and vision over the mechanics of camera use. His website is douglasbeasley.com.
My photographs are spiritual metaphors that explore the relationship between self, other and the sometimes vast space in between, which contains them and sets them free from one another. The combinations resonate willfully yet unknowingly with each other, expanding past the borders that confine them, creating a new space with metaphysical boundaries. The ambiguous relationship is both mine with the subject, and the viewer's with the relationship between images, creating an emotional rather than physical connection between pairings. hopefully asking more questions than they answer.
