Arts Project: a clear sky
Samer has made night photography his specialty. He presents here his artistic vision through the taking of many skies of the Montreal area. The immensity, the stars, the Milky Way, the Shooting Stars, the moon, constellations like Orion and many other phenomena surprise the viewer and bring him into a world of magnificence.
Samer’s photos generally consist of stars as a background, a foreground and a subject, all forming impressive paintings. The addition of landscapes, the identification of constellations, stars and moon are all elements conducive to the appearance of a landscape, sometimes an human form help create a mythic world. Samer uses modern and sophisticated devices that allow him to obtain long exposures for the production of his pictures.
