 Photography by L.Marie Jones In 1979, at the age of 15, Lisa borrowed her father’s 35 mm Volghtlander camera to experiment with light, color and theme. Known for its excellent lens design, its curvature of field delivered sharp and crisp photos. As a novice photographer, her initial photos focused on the effect of light upon subjects and the variations found in black and white film. While at Kent State University in Kent Ohio, Lisa became a staff photographer for the Spectrum (Black United Students) newspaper. As a staff photographer Lisa covered social and sporting events. With her camera, she vividly portrayed the human nature of her subjects and the realism of each event. During the 1980s Lisa spent most of her time traveling with the Woman’s Tennis Association. While on tour she visited Europe, South America and various states within the U.S. With an endless canvas of subjects, her imagery ranged from atmospheric impressionist views of nature to intimate views of life. With each click of the lens, Lisa vividly captured and expressed the sense of reality that was the moment seen through her camera. By the 1990s, Lisa ended her tennis tour and took a position managing the Central Park Tennis Center in New York City. Due to the nature of her job, she turned her lens to the fast pace of sports photography and the challenge of split-second composition. Sports photography taught her the importance of effective technique, using proper shutter speed to freeze action to quickly translate the intensity of the moment for the viewer. In 2001 Lisa visited India. The trip turned her attention to human nature and interaction. India’s mix of culture and diversity gave her the opportunity to photograph its rich themes and its many ethnic groups of people. Her lens took an intimate look at India’s many different communities and religious traditions. Armed with black and white and color film she translated India’s beauty and splendor into visual treasures. After returning from India, Lisa continued to photograph nature and intimate views of life. She currently lives in East Hampton, New York, where the typography of the land re-captured her love of nature. Her creative vision is to capture the beauty and simplicity of nature as an impressionist art form shifting, dissolving, redefining it self throughout the seasons. |

Every canvas that we print is protected with a UV coated acrylic finish to guard the print from dust, moisture and fading. Do you want your canvas stretched on bars or non-stretched? Framed or unframed? Customize the work to make it truly your own. |
| Art of Photography |
|
When families get together, both children and adults love to look through photograph albums. They enjoy seeing the childhood photos of older family members and compare themselves to ancestors who lived a hundred or more years ago. Photos are among the most important treasures of every family. They should not be faded and dull. They contain the smiles, tears and emotions of generations. The staff members at Hampton Photo Arts display excellence in the art of photography reproduction. They work with the highest quality materials. They know how to create family memories that will be just as beautiful one hundred years from now as they are today. |
Photography is an amazing art form. A photograph album is a catalogue of life's history as seen through the camera. People, animals, nature, holidays, celebrations and even disasters are captured instantly and recorded as part of history. It is through the powerful presentations of photography that we better understand the progression of time and life. Hampton Photo Arts has over twenty years of experience working with photographers as they seek to capture and preserve the history of families and communities.| Learning to Paint Watercolors |
|
Watercolor is an easy, fun medium for creating art. Color theory, composition and design can be explored freely with watercolor paint, paper, and brushes. Several techniques may be used with watercolors for varying effects including painting wet on wet, wet on dry, layering washes, and more. Watercolor paper comes in cold press, hot press, and rough. Rough paper has the most texture, and its hills and valleys can result in interesting effects when paint is added. Hot press is the smoothest and has the finest texture. Cold press has a moderate amount of texture and is the paper most commonly chosen by watercolor artists. Watercolor paper comes in several weights ranging from 90 lb. to 300 lb. based on the pounds per ream of paper. Most artists prefer to use at least 140 lb. paper. Papers vary somewhat between manufacturers, so sampling different papers is advisable. Paper can be purchased in pads, in blocks or in large sheets. The large sheets are usually the most economical and can be torn into whatever size is desired. |
