About the exhibit
Buck Christensen
can spend hours with a single flower, exploring the way its expression changes
with every new pose, every slight adjustment in perspective. The slow and
deliberate process in the changing light, with shifting shadows, is fascinating
to him. As evidenced by the minimalist compositions in this collection,
Christensen is rarely satisfied with anything more than a single flower against
the sterility of a white background—an uncluttered stage.
About the artist
Buck Christensen
is a photographer, writer, and editor in Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he lives
with his wife and young daughter. Somewhere during life's journey, he developed
a passion for storytelling, first with the pen and then with the pixel. His
photography found its roots through his travels.
In 2009, Buck
began studying photographic technique in an effort to become a better
photographic storyteller. That same year, he started sharing his work online.
By January 2012, he was exhibiting his prints around Council Bluffs.
Buck enjoys the
challenge of finding the beauty in the pedestrian, often shirking the traditional
for the unusual and always searching for the subject's essential parts.
Something as simple as the gesture of a single flower languishing in a vase on
a window sill is a story that he loves to retell through his photography. His
primary photographic interests include landscapes and flowers.
