Profotos Staff Evaluation:

The mysterious and dream-like mood found in Jeff Alu's photography portfolio is unlike any other, which we have reviewed here at Profotos. Strong graphic lines, along with incredible texture and stark contrast are three of the most common elements found within Jeff's images.

Our staff was stunned to learn of the technique Jeff uses to create his beautiful images. Using a Kodak DC-280 digital camera, Jeff shoots all of his images in color and then converts them into black and white in Photoshop. All of his image manipulation is accomplished within the virtual darkroom of Photoshop. Jeff's masterful understanding of this program goes a long way in assisting him to produce some of the most striking fine art, black and white images our staff has ever reviewed on Profotos.

Several of the images within Jeff's portfolio are strikingly similar to those found within some of the all-time great photographer's portfolios. His incredible use of contrast, lighting and texture give his images a very strong feeling of three dimensionality. The three dimensional aspect of Jeff's images is a strong element, which adds to the overall quality of several of his images.

Our staff enjoyed every moment we had, while reviewing the work in this talented artist's portfolio. We invite you to browse through Jeff's portfolio and immerse yourself within his surreal world of digital imaging. Keep in mind that all of the images within Jeff's portfolio are digital, from the moment they are captured, to the final result after much burning and dodging. Wow! This digital portfolio rivals those of many traditional imaging masters!
