Dennis Ninmer

My very first interest in photography was playing with super eight movies. It wasn’t until the early 1970’s when my art teacher, changed my interest to still photography and the artful work that could be done in a darkroom. After taking a photography course at “The School of Modern Photography”, my interest grew. I started doing portraits and weddings, but this was not what I wanted to do, but it helped pay the bills. I had a strong interest in Nature, Fine Art and Abstract photography, and some day that goal would be reached.

In early 2000 I started working with digital photography. Digital photography gave me the freedom to abstract or manipulate images inside the camera and thru the use of a computer without the expense of film. When I want to create an abstract image on the computer, I look for a subject that will look interesting when completed.

Exploring the world of abstracts, created with the camera, is both challenging and rewarding. To be able to see the taken image right away (and not wait for film development) allowed me to make adjustments right on the spot. Film photography is still a great interest of mine. I will be shooting more film, plus doing my own film processing. You will see more of my work created with the help of film and digital combined.

Most of my images are printed in my studio using only the highest quality printers, paper and inks. This way I have complete control of the outcome of my work. They are all printed using Archival and Acid Free Products. My images will be signed and numbered as Original or Limited-Edition Prints. A few Open Edition are made which are mainly used for greeting cards and my Small Image Series.

The best part about being an “Artist of Photography” is not only getting out and taking pictures, but also sharing my interest with others. Whether it is explaining one of my images or simply sharing my knowledge in photography. I hope you enjoy my work.
