Four Fifths Design

Designer: Eric Cahan

Eric Cahan might be considered a good designer, but he’s definitely considered a phenomenal photographer. He’s a devotee of contemporary art, and is always inspired by color and nature. This is evident yet again in the ongoing Sky Series. These pieces are captured scenes of sunrises or sunsets.

Cahan uses as many as four separate cameras in capturing the amazement housed in these colorful compositions of nature. Employing dozens of graduated filters, his objective is to create a window into a time and a place, and to play with the abstract through color gradients, shifting, and manipulation. Cahan produces chromium prints of each piece numerous times until he has reached a seamless result free of any sort of blemish. Cahan’s drive to mesh the elemental beauty of color with the hidden complexity of nature is admirable. And the results: astounding.
