Danger After Dark

              Born in Denver Colorado where he still resides and practices photography. Graduated from Metro State University with a Bachelor in Fine Arts with an Emphasis on photography. Originally studied forensics is what got Edward into the field of photography. Made money to go to school by playing Poker professionally. Was diagnosed with PTSD and manic depression. In some of his earlier works this can be seen. He ventured out more realizing his story wasn’t the only tragic one. He has now tried to help and elevate everyone’s experience in their life through his art. His art he feels is no longer about him but every viewer that has looked at his art.

I didn't tell alot of people but back in July me and a homie drove to Vegas. It was super short notice. Got the idea in my head and four days later on the road. Went for a multitude of reasons. There was alot of firsts on that journey. For example got my first tattoo ever. That was crazy. Hope to share more and look forward to when I go back! #vivalasvegas #adventure #roadtrip #wanttogoback https://www.instagram.com/p/CJkOf2tlGIM/?igshid=drg1uqa7pxzu

Messing around with puddle reflections still. I liked this one because the swirl effect you are seeing is from the oil sheen that was in the puddle. This puddle was made by a pothole so this is a picture of a pothole. You can kind of see the pebbles and asphalt. That is what is creating the "ledge" #reflectivephotography #puddles #potholes #denver https://www.instagram.com/p/B82ZVBPFopo/?igshid=9h4a9km8emo5

Here it is in black and white. Again had a hard time deciding. Let me know! #denver #nightphotography #nightwalk #noir https://www.instagram.com/p/B8vG4P3ldsH/?igshid=1e4noiq5z9fhm

Here is another angle of those neon windows. Really enjoyed them and loved the vibe they were putting out. Not only cyberpunk but maybe some synth wave like movie drive? Let me know your thoughts. Let me know what angle you all prefer. I will also have this one in black and white as well. #cyberpunk #nightwalk #nightphotography #neon #alleyway #denver https://www.instagram.com/p/B8vGr9LFvzU/?igshid=2u4sekx4tx73

Another one I took well waiting for traffic. I do like the different balance of whites in this. I dont know was also goofing off haha! #blackandwhitephotography #nightdrive #iwearmysunglassesatnight https://www.instagram.com/p/B8uwSfpF1Fq/?igshid=1cx6o9vw3yrg1

Took this after winning a poker tourney coming down that mountain. Really liked the red light I was getting with the darkness of the mountain. Yes I wear my sunglasses at night. . . driving on a dark mountain. So what?#night #redlight #darkness #iwearmysunglassesatnight https://www.instagram.com/p/B8sWhnzlOUD/?igshid=115arnlvm26ld

I have also been very interested in reflections. The type of photos I can get through water or any other reflective surface. I love the effect it creates. For example this is a picture of a puddle. #reflectivephotography #denver #snowrain #puddle https://www.instagram.com/p/B8HNm5ZDGYV/?igshid=q474aox30n4d

[eddiedangerlove]

I wasn't sure if I liked it in color or in black and white so I did both! What you all think? I have another angle of this shot I may post as well. Anyone is welcome to come on the walks!#denver #nightwalk #blackandwhitephotography #alleyway https://www.instagram.com/p/B8FikupFpKp/?igshid=1fiv8809anka3

Adding to my evolved series of nooks. I am interested now in the bigger picture of the nook. My last series dealt with vertical and horizontal lines. I am now exploring diagonal lines and angles. Will continue my walks. I also just like the slight cyberpunk feel 😊 #nooks #cyberpunk #nightwalk #denver #alley https://www.instagram.com/p/B8FY9Kgl8Ao/?igshid=1f529uo24cocu

Trying to get out more and do my city photography. It has been so long Denver has changed. I am sure many knew about this dairy block but it was my first time. I plan to evolve my nook series and this is the start. #denver #dairyblock #exploring #nightwalks #nooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B71jGCJFb6q/?igshid=1b54exydeklum

I look for the corners in public people may not notice right away,

[eddiedangerlove]

I want the viewer to be along on the adventure with me.

The viewer knows that for a photographer to take a photo and to display it in a gallery the subject in the photo had to draw the photographer in. For a viewer to want to interact with a piece of art the subject should speak to the viewer. It is that connection with the viewer that we, as artists, are able for us to share in the same experience with a viewer while having their own unique experience.

My Thesis Statement

Most were taken n Denver where I live.  #expereinceintheround #photography #denver #denverartists #eddiedanger #eddiedangerlove
