Welcome to
State of the ART Photography.

The images are the Photography of Art Skopec. I was born in New York City, moving to Arizona after having fallen in love with the land and diversity of plant and animal life. I have been a working Photographer for over 20 years, first in the streets of New York and now in the open expanses of the Desert Southwest.

My photographic philosophy is to immerse myself into whatever environment I find myself, using my "Macro to Micro" approach. In this approach I first concentrate on the "Big Picture", the Macro, taking in the surroundings through Wide Angle and Panoramic images. Next, I zero in on the smaller discrete elements that make up the scene.

It is through this two part process that I attempt to capture the essence of what I photograph. Working this way, and taking my time, I am able to more fully experience my surroundings and capture the images that really define the experience. I'm sure that my past life as a field biologist has impacted my powers of observation in a big way.

My motifs are very diverse, reflecting the breath of my own interests and my driving curiosity about the world we live in. I hope there is something here that catches your attention.
