HARRY RITTER WEST

Harry Ritter West combines photography, videography and sculpture to engage with escapism, melancholy, mystery, storytelling, time, and light. His work encourages the viewer to re-examine their perception of reality and how light can change one’s understanding of a subject over time. These themes are communicated through photographic techniques such as long exposures or high-contrast nightscapes. West’s work invites the viewer to feel the passage of time; through the manipulation of exposure, contrast, and colour, he creates works that resonate with emotions experienced in the environments he captures.
