My name is Xamara L Maisonet, I am a wife, and a mother of two adult children and a doggy named Zowie. My husband and I live in beautiful Clermont, Florida. I love to travel and document life. My love for travel led me to my passion for photography. My interest in photography started when my husband and I started traveling. I wanted to document our travels, I did photography as a hobby until I wanted to work the art of photography at a more professional level. I am currently working on my MFA at the Academy of Art University.
I am halfway done with my Master’s in Fine Art in photography and in my process of discovering and developing my unique style a fine art project was born, “Our Time on Earth”. This project has a few parts, one of which will be part of my thesis, “Living the Dash; Freezing Seconds That Never Stopped”.
My fine art images are a creation between a frozen moment and the representation of moving time, they exhibit a blending of a moment with movement. I want to embrace through my photography the beauty of moments in life, people, and this planet despite the limited time that we live on Earth. Because time won’t stop for us, I will make art with it, utilizing the lines, the blur, and the colorful traces of the movement of time to paint over the frozen moments.
My travel photography is engaging, and colorful, it can be displayed by itself or be part of a travel story. My style includes a blend of natural light, bright colors, sharpness, and contrast for a dynamic feel. Shapes, forms, color, leading lines, and sometimes movement add to the interesting features of the images making them unique and intriguing to explore.
I also explore other styles like B&W and multiple exposures that I call “Multiple Moments in One“.
