In Sarah McTernen’s photography gallery on Artsetter, you might notice an airplane, the Golden Gate Bridge, a bright red tulip, a sea creature, and a circuit board –all things without much in common thematically, but which are all brought alive through the lens of Sarah’s camera.  As a skilled photographer, she keeps things interesting with any subject that she transforms in beautiful ways in her digital photography.  Sarah has a photographic talent for making ordinary items into marvelous images.

Sarah McTernen, To the Skies, 50€

To the Skies shows an airplane from behind, in an interesting point of view, as it looks into a turquoise sky dotted with clouds and pink smoke.  Red and white stripes on the wing lead the eye to the green-blue hues beyond, as if it wishes to join the clouds.

Sarah McTernen, Sanding Patterns, 50€

Her use of digital photography gives her many options as to the final result of her work, and her choices keep the viewer wanting to know more.  Particularly in her abstract photography, Sarah makes banal subjects quite appealing to the eye.  Sanding Patterns shows a small portion of a 1969 Mustang, focusing in on scraped away multiple layers of paint.  Sarah takes photographs from unique angles and skillfully works with lighting to find the personality in ordinary everyday things.
