Images created by Paul Ernest of Paul Ernest Photography in Dallas, Texas has recently been accepted into the Loan Collection of Professional Photographers of America’s 2011 International Photographic Competition. Paul’s work will be on display at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, January 15-17, 2012, in New Orleans, La. This exhibition is held in conjunction with Imaging USA, an annual convention of professional photographers and several photographic associations.

A panel of eminent jurors from across the United States selected the top photographs from more than 4,000 total submitted entries at Gwinnett Technical College in Georgia. Judged against a standard of excellence, over 1,500 images were selected for the General Collection and just over 600 (15 percent) were selected for the esteemed Loan Collection—the best of the best. The Loan Collection images will all be published in the much-anticipated “Loan Collection” book.

Images titled “After the Harvest,” “All I Want for Christmas,” “Chasing Butterflies,” and “Trust Me,” Ernest’s entry will be in New Orleans at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center alongside other photographic works from PPA’s photographic competition and traveling and special invitational displays. These images constitute one of the world’s largest annual exhibits of professional photography gathered simultaneously under one roof.

I am a terrible failure as a painter and gave it up quite some time ago in college, but the desire to take an image beyond the expected and into the confines of the heart still drives me. Classic Dutch painters like Rembrandt and twentieth-century American painters such as Maxfield Parrish and Andrew Wyeth are a few of my classic influences. Combining those influences with modern-day culture and trends in the area of advertising, commercial photography and photojournalism where I have at much of my professional experience has equipped me with the influences and ability to achieve some of my personal creative goals as an artist. One of my favorite quotes is from Andrew Wyeth, “I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it… I always want to see the third dimension of something… I want to come alive with the object.” For me, I think he is addressing the physical environment of texture and dimension which, in the digital age, is something I continually make an effort to maintain. From time to time I will be posting images in the category of “Personal Creative Work” to share with you my personal projects for everyone to enjoy and comment on.
