ROGER CULLMAN
“Roger Cullman is a Toronto-based independent photojournalist. Roger is currently booking editorial, portrait, wedding and corporate event photography for Autumn/Winter 2015 and beyond.
Having first discovered photography as a child at art camp, I grew up with a rich visual palette and vivid imagination. When digital photography came along, I was among the first to embrace it, igniting my passion for visual storytelling.”
What struck me about Roger Cullman’s work was how relatable the images are. We have all either lost something, or spotted something on the floor and thought nothing of it, and that makes these lost item’s rather beautiful. Without touching or snooping, Cullman has made old and unwanted items into something many people admire as an art form. The natural backgrounds match the worn down items, and as each item is photographed, it is clear that whether or not the objects return to their owner is irrelevant, as this gallery has taken something disgruntled and made it admirable. Without searching far and wide, I feel these images would be easy to replicate with my own findings.
