Stan Singer’s career as a financial advisor has inspired his perception of the world around him when creating photographic images. Looking at the big picture, communicating with individuals, reading between the lines, being alert to details, interpreting body language, comprehending the interaction between people and their environment, and using intangibles while leading efforts to a successful conclusion, guide his art. He tries to look into people, as well as at them. While pondering a scene, he not only is conscious of what the scene is, but what it is about. Composition, more easily falls into place as these elements direct his thinking. His subjects are very varied and range from colorful and beautiful scenery, to street photography, to black and white candid portraits expressing emotion of the moment. His sense is that there are worthy images everywhere and enjoys the challenge of finding them.<

One thought that continually passes through his mind is “what does this picture represent that I have not seen before.” The images that he seeks have to be honest, not contrived, representations of life. He finds that his greatest satisfaction is in expressing an experience, rather than recording a scene. When others see his work, he hopes that they ponder the sentiment expressed in the image and that perhaps it reminds them of a moment in their own life.
