"Through photomontage I present unspoken stories which illustrate fleeting moments in time and which are intended to evoke a mood in the viewer. Each photomontage is carefully constructed, using both images that have been planned and those that unexpectedly enhance the story. I desire to move beyond documentation of the present, and rather seek to fuse reality and fantasy in musing about possibilities of the future."

Time Machine: "Creation of this digital photo composite was my response to the disquieting political turn at the start of our century’s 3rd decade. The piece was created just a couple of months before the beginning of the pandemic. Little did I know how eerily prophetic this visual portrayal of a potentially dangerous future was at the time." Time Machine received a Gold Award at the 2022 PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris

Tom Klare: "For over 20 years I was a commercial photographer and illustrator in San Diego, CA creating work for mostly editorial assignments throughout the U.S. Eventually I relocated to Arizona where I taught digital photography and post-production in the Art Dept. of Mesa Community College for 15 years. I retired from my faculty position in 2021 as professor emeritus. I currently teach Arizona Highways Photoscape workshops as well as guest lecture at various photographic organizations. I spend my free time hiking, backpacking, traveling, and continually pursuing art and photography."

Exposed is a double tulip in the prime of its bloom. I go to great lengths to find flowers that have not been too heavily handled and tulips are wonderful subjects because I typically bring them home before they open. I find particular interest seeing flowers in black in white because it is then not the color that draws the viewer in, but the composition. This image is a compilation of many photos combined into one. Using different focal lengths in one shoot allows me to capture all the beautiful and often unseen detail that simply cannot be appreciated with one shot, a technique called photo stacking.

Amy Ouderkirk’s floral portraits are striking studies of beauty and form. Through measured composition and dramatic lighting, Amy brings her subjects to life with a sense of powerful elegance. Her style is unique in her ethereal, detailed, yet minimalist capture. One can clearly see when viewing her subjects that the works of Georgia O'Keeffe, Ansel Adams and Mapplethorpe have all influenced her style of work.
