Garrett Kline Photography

I have found photography is the acknowledgment of the world around you without the resonance of spoken language. Photography is much like a language where it can be translated, learned, appreciated, passed down, it describes ones reality, how one honestly feels, moments of truth, and moments of deception. My work is a testament to these notions. It is about the connection that is so spontaneously created and so quickly broken. A single stare, the slightest gesture, and the perfectly tempered atmosphere. It is a true moment in time where action retards to its slowest crawl and movement becomes still life. My pieces address the issues of gender and sexuality and reconciling the two where they may be fluid and nebulous and not so compartmentalized. The work holds a critique on society and how much further we have to go until we may one day see these characteristics as androgynous, either or, with no protest to one or the other. With my subjects, I try to be a vessel just as much as they aim to be a voice. All I can do is listen, all they can do is talk. The hopeful median is that there is substance. But we must also have a balance of depth to aesthetic. I find that beauty, in the right way, can be just as insightful as well.
