about Stone Digital Art

Male

I am a freelance CGI/VFX lighting specialist, bringing an extensive photographic background in studio and location shooting to the professional demands of creating visually believable lighting solutions for virtual environments and other digital production applications.

While I do still occasionally dust off the camera to do some “real” photography, the bulk of my current artistic focus centres around virtual figure study work – a return to the genre I most enjoyed exploring early in my career. I attempt to create 3D renders that are comparable to the real-world counterparts I produced in the darkroom decades ago.

I choose to work with the Nude because I love the play of light over form...the subtle curves and graduations and shadings and tones of the human body. I also enjoy the pure technical challenge of creating a convincing illusion of reality from nothing.

As a preemptive response to those who aren’t in favour of CGI imagery, it's worth remembering that photography itself was (and to a degree is still) held in similar low esteem by the traditional art community. In my opinion an artist’s chosen medium should be irrelevant – what matters is whether the final result is evocative.
