Harvey Hellering is a widely exhibited, fine art photographer, working over the last 20 years with landscape, architectural, scenic and travel subjects.
The photographs aim to capture both mood and moment, sometimes using an exciting wide vista — other times a revealing fragment of location and situation.
Self labeled "a wanderer/looker, rather than a disciplined project photographer" he looks to emotional feel, visual texture and the magic of light in choosing subjects. “then comes the work of isolating this reality in a rectangle — and predicting what it will say by itself on a wall — away from the birds and breezes"
Subjects are drawn from the rich Long Island landscape as well as images from years of travel throughout the U.S and Canada and many trips to Europe, Asia, Mexico, Cuba and the Middle East.
The photographs are printed by the photographer, using advanced digital editing, reproduction and framing methods, with archival rated media.
He is currently active in several art and photography organizations, including the Salmagundi Club in New York City, the East End Photographers Group, and recently served as President of the East End Arts Council.
