I want to express how nature feels in the moment. ~ Barb Kellogg

The older I become the more I want to discover my complexities through art—trying to make sense of the world through images and words. Visit www.barbkelloggphotography.com for more. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter!

Photography gives me freedom to express emotions, creating images that are about something, not of something. To do this, I use traditional methods in addition to a style different from what most photographers do — it’s very fluid and abstract due to my intentional moving of the camera. The effect is manual, not artificially created.

I’ve also become an accidental author — with a book about what mental illness feels like (If You Only Knew: Revealing the Humanity of Mental Illness), and two books pairing my photography with my poetry (Dreams May Come and More Than Words).
