Colin Chase |
||||||||||||||||||||
Colin Chase is a photographer focusing mostly on landscape, farming, and the sea. Though these are the dominant themes in his work, he also creates abstract compositions about colour blending, refracted light and its impact. His landscape photographs have a very moody, painterly quality, emphasing colour and the evanescent moment, like the quality of a golden sunset, the flap of a wing, the mist in a field ... a softness that betrays his love for his home province of Nova Scotia. Colin studied photography in seminars and workshops by Freeman Patterson, André Gallant and Sherman Hines; he has also been mentored by David James. In 1987 he won first prize and an honourable mention for two photographs in the ‘One Day in the Life of Halifax’ photo contest sponsored by Carsand Mosher Photographic. He won ‘Best Photograph Printed by Entrant’ in the 1988 Camera Canada College photo competition. He is an accredited member of the Professional Photographers of Canada. Colin exhibits regularly in galleries across Nova Scotia since his retrement as an educator in 2017.
