Jeffrey R. Brosbe's images are fine art photographic prints in extremely
limited editions, unique Polaroid manipulations, unique montages of Polaroid
manipulations sometimes augmented with hand coloring, and unique hand
colored black & white prints. He also does commissioned portraits.
His images are best described, in general, as "Introspective" and often
"Impressionistic". He considers the creation of an image the same as the
creation of a Haiku: "It should be whole and meaningful in itself while
providing greater insight when pondered further."
He never uses digital manipulation of any kind, preferring to use in camera
and hands on techniques to achieve some unusual effects.
