About Nancy Goldstein

I'm a fine art photographer in Southeastern Virginia specializing in black and white photography, but sometimes I dabble in color.

This is a pair of socks I knitted a few years ago, and it was a lot simpler than it looks. Traditionally, you would work using a difficult technique with many colors to get this effect. It’s a good thing that’s no longer necessary or I would never have made these; I used a yarn designed to knit up into this pattern. Computer science, meet knitting!

I did not have to do extensive processing to create the final image. I adjusted the colors to show them correctly and then cropped the photo into a square.

I captured this from the rear window of a beautifully restored hearse I saw at a car show. It made me laugh.

I increased contrast to make the image come alive, if you’ll pardon the pun. It was also important to have the paint appear metallic to add a little texture. Overall, one of my favorite images.

A simple square paper lantern. It was a quick grab. I saw it, grabbed my iPhone , and captured it, but not before I tilted the phone a little.

The lampshade is actually beige paper and a little blah in real life. I knew the photo would look better as black and white, so my first step was to convert the image. I also increased the brightness and boosted the contrast, keeping some of the original detail. Finally, I decided it would look better as a square image, so I cropped.
