Doug McLarty's "Nature By Design" photo series employ eye catching botanical designs, unusual floral combinations and whimsical creations to examine the rich nuances of nature. He makes use of digital technology filtered through photographic like focal patterns, lighting situations and movement to reveal unique patterns and perspectives for the viewer.
For the past 40 years Doug McLarty has photographed landscape and botanical images throughout Europe, the Caribbean, Florida and the western United States. Much of his extensive portfolio was created using traditional black and white film capture and darkroom processing techniques. Over the past 6 years McLarty has gradually moved into digital photography and now makes digital images exclusively. Doug credits British sculptor, environmentalist and photographer Andy Goldsworthy and glass artist Dale Chihuly for inspiring his current works in the 'Nature by Design' series.
Doug McLarty resides in Xenia, OH.
