About the Item
"Essence of Life" is a part of Christopher Kennedy's "Trees Revered" series. Please note that the image without the frame is a better representation of the actual image.
"This particular small tree is situated at the entrance to a driveway off a busy road in Pennsylvania and so mostly missed by almost everyone driving by. But when I caught sight of it heavily laden with snow, I couldn't resist. I then set out to create a landscape it could star in, created with movement. The shadow was hand-painted in Photoshop."
"Essence has been printed on Epson's archival Hot Press Bright paper stock, one of my favorites. The print itself is 16x24 with a single matte and museum non-reflective UV glass."
British-born Christopher is a lifelong photographer but spent many years working with composers in the Hollywood film industry before deciding to follow a new path. Perfecting his concept of PhotoLuminism imagery that he printed onto large sheets of aluminum, he forged his way into the professional photography market. This new technique attracted the attention of international art consultants, collectors, and galleries in the Philadephia area. His work has won many awards and hangs in prestigious private and public collections, including the Hyatt Regency Chicago, the Marriott Marquis Houston, the Dubai Conrad Hilton, and the Northeastern Illinois University.

British-born Christopher is a lifelong photographer but spent many years working with composers in the Hollywood film industry before deciding to follow a new path. Perfecting his concept of PhotoLuminism imagery that he printed onto large sheets of aluminum, he forged his way into the professional photography market. This new technique attracted the attention of international art consultants, collectors, and galleries in the Philadephia area, where his work has been exhibited extensively. Kennedy has won many awards, and his work hangs in prestigious public and private collections, including the Hyatt Regency Chicago, the Marriott Marquis Houston, the Dubai Conrad Hilton, and Northeastern Illinois University. In addition to being a photographer, Christopher has translated three of his PhotoLuminism works into a 3-D sculpture in New Hope, PA. His 9' high, three-piece opaque fiberglass "Exhibitionist" was a winner of the Hew Hope Arts Outdoor Sculpture contest. Based on his photographs utilizing LEDs as the subject, "Exhibitionist" is internally lit by almost 2000 animated LEDs. A fraction of his extensive work can be reviewed at www.PhotoLuminism.com
