Giedrius Varnas

Giedrius Varnas has a simplicity to her work that is very captivating. All of her prints are very spacious and serene. She uses digital and prefers black and white. She does use photoshop on her prints however, she tries to keep it within the traditional controls such as dodge, burn, contrast, and retouching. Her photos are very clean and evoke a sense of peacefulness. Each photo highlights a specific object and the rest seems to float away in space. The calming simplicity works very well in her images; I could not see them being in color. The black and white tends to be more mysterious with the contrast. Though black and white seem to appear in each image, there are no sharp distinctions which creates flow and balance. I really enjoy her use of white/blank space. I tend to not make my images very busy because I like the way that it looks and feels open and clean.
