Steve McGhee

August 21, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Photography, Portfolios, USA, 2015

The guru of photography manipulations Steve McGhee. Let him say for himself: "My work reflects a personal interest in things human beings have little or no control over. We walk through life feeling like we’re indestructible, while in reality, we’re just the opposite. In the days and weeks following a major catastrophes,, people tend to reboot – we get shocked back into being human. That is to say, we react in an undeniably human way… whenever tragedy strikes in the world people come together to help those directly affected. It’s just too bad we have to be reminded that we’re human in such terrible ways."
