About Bo Kass:
“In my three areas of interest – Urban Scenes, Still Life, and Landscapes – I use traditional photography and natural lighting to capture the images and moods that are presented to me. I serve as a sensitive recording plate, preserving that moment. Shooting by natural light I wait for the brief moment when the arranged objects are illuminated by sunlight creating a pattern of light and shadow.”
