"I don’t just look through the lens with my eye. First, I look with my heart. I try to view my subjects from a unique perspective and capture extraordinary moments. I explore the world in a child-like manner in order to help others see it for the first time ... again."

© 2004/2005/2006 Joseph R. Sherman



 

Joseph Randell Sherman was born in 1958 in the United States of America. His love for all the Arts comes from his early childhood as does his ability to imagine and dream of things beyond the visible. This capacity, enhanced by a vivid curiosity towards all manifestations of life, became the foundation of Joseph’s creativity, expressed first through his writings, and later through his photography.

It wasn’t until he moved to Portugal in 2004 that Joseph truly had the opportunity of beginning to explore his old passion for photography more deeply. And he started simply by capturing images of the wondrous creations of life that surrounded him. He found ordinary things that most people would merely pass by without noticing and made them extraordinary by looking at them in a unique way that reached beyond the purely visible. Joseph’s artistic goal in photography has been to help people to actually “experience” these precious moments in time. While viewing his photos, you can really imagine being a part of the picture yourself.

Following his highly successful photo exhibition “Liquid Universe”, featured in January 2005 in the coastal city of Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal, Joseph has created photographic collections centered in the theme "The Four Elements of Nature": Water, Fire, Earth and Air.

Fifty photos were to be chosen from these collections to be included in the award winning book "Universes Beyond the Visible ~ Elements of Dream" released in January 2006 and featuring, in addition to Joseph's photography, his own texts of poetry and poetic prose and those of his partner, Alexandra Oliveira - with whom he founded the literary and artistic association OneLight*® Authors & Creations. (See some of the photos featured in this book on the left - and read more about it in the OneLight*® Bookstore - link also on the left).

("Universes Beyond the Visible ~ Elements of Dream" has been distinguished with two very significant awards in 2006: The 1st Prize in the category "Books, Magazines and Brochures" of the Inapa Portugal / Arjo Wiggins Contest - and an Honourable Mention in the category "Book of the Year" of the Pilsner Urquell International Photography Awards.)

The enormous success of the photos included in the "Fire" chapter of this book would be the detonator of Joseph's next exhibition, "Blazing Universe". This collection was featured in the city of Porto, Portugal, at Galeria 153, between February and March.

Joseph's last exhibition of photos pertaining to the "Four Elements" theme, took place in May 2006, in the historic setting of one of Portugal's most prestigious bookstores - Livraria Lello Chardron, in the city of Porto. This photo exhibition was part of a multimedia event attended by a numerous and very enthusiastic public, and titled "Elements of Dream", which combined, in a most unique perspective, the four elements of Nature with four elements of the Art: Image, Expression, Dance and Music. (See some images of these three exhibitions & events on the right).

But Joseph’s photography is not confined to this theme, however inexhaustible it may be. Rather, like his curiosity and fascination for all life within and beyond the scope of visibility, his creations are a permanently evolving, boundless kaleidoscope of subjects and concepts. Some examples of this variety can be viewed both in Joseph's Online Studio (see link at the bottom of this page) and in his photo blog - JosePhotography* Specials (see link on the right)

His work has recently been recognized by the judges of the most prestigious international photography contest:

  • The Pilsner Urquell International Photography Awards.
    (See link "Photography Awards" on the right)

Joseph is a member of the Photographic Society of America and is currently working on different projects, which combine his personal artistic perspective and specific advertising targets, and through which he seeks to expand the scope of his activity.
