Rome Scooter Alcove - Digital Print on Canvas 16'' x 20''

Lawrence von Knorr's sensitivity to composition and the evocative possibilities of light and color has inspired him to enhance his original photographs to bring to the surface the emotional textures already in the original image. Technology provides him with the tools to introduce fantasy and imagination to the reality of conventional photography; the results are expressive scenes akin to French Impressionism. As a photographer, Lawrence’s most fulfilling experience is being on location and capturing images of architecture, landscapes and street scenes. He strives for a timeless quality in his work, and when he employs his lens in international locales such as Spain, Germany, Italy, and Mexico, he finds rich subject matter that harks back to previous centuries. A picture is an opportunity for all kinds of exploration, he says, both for the artist and for the viewer. With a major influence coming from the landscapes and cities of central Pennsylvania, Lawrence’s work naturally has focused on abandoned industrial sites and enhancing their photographs with different tones and digital effects to bring out the historical and emotional depth of the location.

Although traditional photography has been Lawrence's lifelong passion, his use of cutting-edge technology has added to the possibilities of photography as he creates beautiful and emotionally powerful works of art.
