About the Author

Kat Sloma

I believe everyone has the potential to share a unique point of view through art. I write, teach workshops, and speak about iPhone and other creative aspects of photography with an intent to engage more people it this great art form.

For me, photography is meditation, expression and revelation. I find photography a way to process what's going on around me and a way to be in the moment. I pause to observe details in the greater world and photograph them, and work to create the same feeling of "pause" in my photography-based art. The type of "pause" can be meditative or surprised; curious or joyful. I seek anything that stops thought for a moment, allowing the world to be perceived in a different way.

Over the last few years my photographic work has shifted from urban scenes to forest elements, reflecting a move from Milan, Italy to Corvallis, Oregon. I have also moved along the spectrum from literal and representational to abstract, taking photographic elements out of context and recombining them into something new and different. I am currently creating new work using an iPhone camera and apps, enjoying the experience of experimenting with a new process and seeing what possibilities appear. My iPhone work expresses a distinct contemplative style which has received recognition in the US and internationally.
