About Me
- Name: C. Witten Fine Art Photography
- Location: Japan
I have always embraced photography as a medium for candid, artistic expression, regardless of the subject. There is beauty to be found in the simplest of blossoms or the most majestic of seascapes. The key is to maintain an openness to creativity and a keen eye to capturing your subject at the pivotal moment where its beauty is most radiant. I used to thrive on photographing still life, landscapes, and architecture and still love photographing them, but I have learned there is something so magical about capturing an intimate kiss between man and wife, a loving embrace between mother and child or the laughter between life-long friends. I specialize in black and white and sepia photography but there are definite subjects that can only best be captured in color. Email me: cgoldman1980@juno.com

Your first attempt to Ikebana is beautiful. It took a totally different look when the buds blossomed. Very beautiful indeed. In Japan, for centuries, the arrangement of flowers has been considered one of the highest of social arts. I would love to know which approach is your sensei teaching. The very traditional, Ikenobo, or a more modern one, the Moribana. Your website is becoming my educational site to Okinawa. Your pictures a very well taken, sometimes exploring different angles and viewpoints. The captions are so apropos... Truly a rich experience. We love you both. Mom
