Thomas Dodd (born in Perth Amboy, New Jersey 1961) is a Digital artist and Photographer based in Atlanta, Georgia. His art images result from digitally transforming his photographs to make them look Painterly, subtly blurring the lines between photography and classical art. He often creates moving surreal images inspired by religious and mythological themes, using styles comparable to those of renowned modern painters like Gustav Klimt, John William Waterhouse and René Magritte. Dodd´s art-work has been frequently cited and revised by many of his peers and specialized art websites. His work has been exhibited in many cities in the USA and around the world, and made its way to inhabit important permanent public collections〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://customshousemuseum.org/temporary-exhibits/dreamer-the-art-of-thomas-dodd )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.redbubble.com/people/imageshifter/journal/917797-an-interview-with-thomas-dodd-people-and-portraiture-group )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://combustus.com/thomas-dodd-photographer-mythmaker/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://fineartebooks.wordpress.com/2014/06/05/the-images-of-thomas-dodd-a-photographic-journey-through-art-history/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.all-about-photo.com/photographer.php?name=Thomas%20Dodd&id=346 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://fstoplounge.com/2013/07/staying-true-being-an-artist-not-a-photographer/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.galerie-l-oeil-du-prince.com/en/portfolios/photography/thomas-dodd/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cadadiaunfotografo.com/2015/06/thomas-dodd.html )〕 ==Career== Thomas Dodd´s father was an advanced amateur photographer of Irish ancestry, who taught his son the essentials of photography: composition, depth, lighting, and how to make quality portraits. Dodd in turn, learnt the basic techniques of a dark-room laboratory (such as negative development, enlarging, printing etc.) as part of his extra-curricular activity while attending Winter Park High School in Orange County, Florida.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://winterparkhighschoolalumni.com/alumni-list-d.html )〕 Dodd became interested in artistic photography through admiring Ansel Adam´s prints at a gallery in Florida. Inspired by Punk rock groups like the Sex Pistols and Ramones, Dodd learnt to play the guitar and spent the 1980s playing in Punk rock bands in Florida and Atlanta. Soon after, Dodd became interested in Irish music and learnt to play the Celtic harp. In 1992 Dodd founded an ambient Celtic ensemble called Trio Nocturna, which had several sponsored appearances in New Orleans, Chicago and Atlanta. Trio Nocturna gained attention in the Gothic scene, recording three commercial albums named ''Morphia'', ''Tears of Light'' and ''Songs of the Celtic Night''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thomasdodd.com/about/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbdToB6SNIY )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://soundcloud.com/farscaped/sets/trio-nocturna-classical-celtic )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amazon.com/Songs-Celtic-Night-Trio-Nocturna/dp/B0033NV9N8 )〕 After Trio Nocturna disbanded in 1997, Dodd did session work as a harpist, most notably with Swans frontman Michael Gira on two albums: The Angels of Light´s ''New Mother'' (1999)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://brainwashed.com/weddle/reviews/mother.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://younggodrecords.com/products/new-mother )〕 and ''The Body Lovers'' (2005).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.swans.pair.com/YGR/mgira/txt_bodylovers.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-body-lovers-the-body-haters-mw0000255443/credits )〕 After a 25-year career as a professional musician, Dodd reemerged as a photographer in 2006, captivated by the popularization of Digital photography and image-processing software, on which he taught himself through online tutorials and books. Digital editing programs and the virtually limitless possibilities of photo-manipulation led Dodd back into photography as a vehicle of creative expression. Dodd´s artistic photography has been praised by artist Richard T. Scott (video ''Artist Spotlight'', min 24:00), and also has been the subject of several interviews and articles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.redbubble.com/people/imageshifter/journal/917797-an-interview-with-thomas-dodd-people-and-portraiture-group )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://combustus.com/thomas-dodd-photographer-mythmaker/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://fineartebooks.wordpress.com/2014/06/05/the-images-of-thomas-dodd-a-photographic-journey-through-art-history/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.all-about-photo.com/photographer.php?name=Thomas%20Dodd&id=346 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://fstoplounge.com/2013/07/staying-true-being-an-artist-not-a-photographer/ )〕 Some of them have particularly focused on Dodd´s inquiries in the treatment of light .〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://tamagazine.com/what-do-you-see-in-thomas-dodds-photography/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.redbubble.com/people/imageshifter/journal/693617-my-entry-in-the-photoshop-masters-group-thomas-dodd )〕 Apart from his mainstream motifs,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://styleblueprint.com/nashville/everyday/surreal-photography-thomas-dodd/ )〕 Dodd has been developing a novel aesthetic line in his series of nudist pictures ''All Bodies Are Beautiful''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thomasdodd.com/beautifulbodies/ )〕 He is also developing a series of pieces depicting African American people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thomasdodd.com/beautifulbodies/intothewild )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thomasdodd.com/sisters )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thomasdodd.com/beautifulbodies/warrior )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thomasdodd.com/hope )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thomasdodd.com/oracle )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thomasdodd.com/portraits/urbanpieta )〕 Dodd teaches his art through seminars, workshops and individual coaching.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cadadiaunfotografo.com/2015/06/thomas-dodd.html )〕 His work has had an acknowledged influence on Steampunk Neo-Victorian Fashion 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Dodd (artist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
