Victoria Barnes

I am a self-taught photographer, specializing in floral, nature and abstract photography. I describe my process as “painting with my camera.”  I am based in Alexandria, Virginia, and much of my work is from locations around the local area.  

ARTIST STATEMENT Like most photographers, I seek out details that spark my imagination. I’m inspired by the things we often take for granted and want to help you see something you might have otherwise overlooked. 

Particularly with my abstract photography, using camera movement intentionally, I want to capture the emotions I am feeling at the moment I click the shutter. I want you to experience the sensation of comfort that a forest full of trees brings, or the sun spreading its glow on all that surrounds it as it rises or sets. If you can sense the breeze that was blowing, or feel the warmth of the sun, then I know that I’ve accomplished my goal.
