About Carlin Felder
Hi, I’m Carlin Felder.
I’m a digital photographer whose primary style of photography is Macro Expressionism.
Macro Expressionism is a conceptual style of abstract Macro photography which focuses on photographing a subject close-up, but it deviates from the hyper-realistic macro style used by mainstream photographers who shoot photo-realistic bug images, for example, by emphasizing what is important in the photographer’s frame at the moment.
Macro Expressionism isn’t concerned with the representation of the object as a whole.
The focus is on mood, color, form, how light affects shapes by adding depth and atmosphere to the objects within the frame.
My inspiration comes from being an abstract painter and the love of a good Color Field painting or a wonderfully seductive use of paint which was the hallmark of the Abstract Expressionists.
What do I do for a living?
I make my money via bag & luggage design, SEO freelancing, content writing & publishing, selling bags & blankets I import from Ecuador with my family, and with affiliate programs on niche websites.
My career has been in product development and the creative fields, but my FUTURE goal is to learn how to become a life coach / financial coach and help people figure their shit out like I have.
I’ve been following a few excellent teachers and applying their principles to my own thought processes with great success.
