themselves. For me, a successful image is one that brings all of the elements of the scene together through the technical decisions and aesthetic choices I make. One of the biggest factors in that process is light. For this reason, I most enjoy photographing nature because the same scene can look dramatically different from moment to moment.
Though I do not forcefully manipulate my images in processing, I have explored printing my fine art images on handmade papers made with natural fibers as opposed to traditional photographic papers to enhance the textural depth and story-telling power of some of my images.

Artist's Statement
I am Tulsa Photographer, Paul McEntire. I work as a photographer, as opposed to any other artistic medium, because I like the idea of documenting moments as they are instead of creating a new, subjective version of them.
I prefer to photograph nature and people in a candid, observational way. Although I do work as a commercial photographer, in my personal work I dislike pre-editing my images by posing or arranging elements. For me, it’s all about context and I feel that doesn’t truly come through when the scene has been manipulated.
Therefore, I also don’t do excessive color correction or ‘digital darkroom’ work. I prefer the images to speak for
