ANDREW
PUSBACH
Interview
Could you introduce yourself to our
readers?
My name is Andrew Pusbach, I am a
fine art photographer from the
beautiful state of Colorado. I was
born and raised in the state of Florida,
dramatically different from Colorado.
I believe this provided me a greater
appreciation for Colorado’s
landscapes. Upon first seeing
Colorado through my own eyes, I was
full of wonder and excitement.
Adventure lurked around every
corner.
I work primarily in black and white
photography; I often find colour to be
too distracting. I have been making
images since arriving in Colorado a
little more than five years ago.
Whenever I am out hiking in the wilds
of Colorado, you will be sure to find
me with a camera and tripod in
hand. I love being out in nature, as
far away from mankind as I can get. I
enjoy the feeling of peace and
solitude that nature offers and I
always try to convey that feeling
through the images I create.
Looking at your photographs. I feel
intrigued by your style of composition.
Its commanding & could you add few
words on it?
I will try to describe my process as best
I can. It is hard to put into words
because so much of it is done
subconsciously. I had to ponder over
this question for a while. I like to work
spontaneously. I may have a specific
destination in mind, whether it is a
specific lake or trail, but I’m open to
other options that I may stumble upon
during my journey. The destination isn’t
really all that important to me. I never
have a specific image in mind,
preplanning, at least for me, is
restricting.
When I find a scene that excites me,
I will spend a while just observing. I
watch how the potential subject and
background interact with one another
and the natural light. All the while
