Art Streiber is a freelance photographer that specializes in photojournalism, travel and entertainment-portrait photography. He has explored many facets of photography within his career. “My work varies. I do reportage, interiors, lifestyles, travel and portrait photography. I pursued portraiture because I love the challenge of visually ‘defining’ my subjects.”
His images are clean, elegant, subtle and unpretentious. He tends to have a very creative approach to his portraiture. “I am able, quite quickly, to size up a subject’s environment, and compose a portrait with a few layers of meaning. I’m capable of putting my subjects at ease, and helping them understand that the process does not have to resemble dentistry!” He jokes and plays around with his clients, it is his way of getting them to relax. That is usually the approach that I take towards the subjects of my photographs as well.
“I love a subject who ‘gives’ something to the camera, who participates in the photo shoot.” Without the outgoing participation of your model it is difficult to create an image that is welcoming to the viewer. I feel that if the subject won’t let you break the barrier as the photographer then the viewer will have an even more difficult time.
“Portrait photography has taken me to incredible places, and has allowed me to meet and talk to fascinating people.” My favorite thing about photography is how, when hidden behind my camera, I am able to now talk to many different types of people.
