By combining his education in fine art at Mars Hill College and UNC and his study of photography in Santa Barbara California, Kent Murray brings a unique approach to portraiture.
Kent’s dimensional lighting emulates the lighting of master painters. The illusion of the third dimension of depth is created on a two dimensional surface of canvas or photographic print. “Our portrait is so life like” is often the comment of clients and yet there is also an ethereal quality that gives each portrait a slight separation from reality and places it into the artistic realm of portraiture.
