Gallery & Store

We are in the age of experiencing new perspectives given new and accessible technologies such as telescopes and waterproof cameras, and given the connectivity of our world either physical or politically, makes it possible for PhotoEssence Photography to dive down, fly up, zoom in, and capture anything around us. This is the essence of the Gallery & Store. At the heart of PhotoEssence Photography, it is our tried and true delivery of high quality photographs of the most unique things brought to you. Here, I offer six independent categories of photography: Street, Macro, Nature, Landscapes, Underwater, and Astro. Each with their own dazzling and intriguing views of the world. I am always expanding how we can see and perceive our world. Not only that, but it is critical to offer information about what we are seeing. To truly understand what we are seeing is Seeing.

PhotoEssence³

The next division is PhotoEssence³ which is focused on bringing 2-dimensional photography into the 3-dimensional, virtual, and augmented reality space. Photography has historically been a 2D visual medium with countless techniques and variations. Technology made photography and it can advance it further to provide even more engaging experiences. This division is here for the innovations and experiences “you never knew existed.” For example, the Virtual Museum is a new look on digital photography by bringing you into a 3D space to see 2D photos in an expanded way. I am making it accessible to those with different means. The museum will have a 3D museum you can see on your own computer. It will also have a true 3D environment where you can experience the photography of our business. My aim also includes going beyond photographs themselves in a 3D environment, but this takes a heck of a lot of work to bring you an exceptional experience. The business is always growing from idea inception to application to delivery.
