ARTIST BIO
Commitment, passion, and love to elicit, “Beauty,” are the paradigms of Parish’s photographic philosophy. Originality, inventiveness, and timelessness are the hallmarks of his three decades of photography. His uncommon use of color, as well as his luminous black and white images, are the makings of his distinctive style.
In his upcoming book, Luminosa, Parish showcases a 5-year long collaboration with Cirque du Soleil performers. Capturing images at 1/5000th of a second, he creates “frozen moments,” that celebrate the power of the human body and the beauty of the human form.
He is a proud member of Canon’s prestigious, Explorers of Light, since l994. An honor shared by a small group of elite photographers worldwide. Parish is also a member of Canon’s “Print Master” Program, as well as APPLE’S Advisory Board for Aperture Software. He is a recipient of many national and international awards.
Parish lives, breathes and devours photography. He finds perfectionism as a transcending attribute, enabling him to constantly explore and expand his creative and artistic horizons. SERIES STATEMENT Beauty is the very essence of are... this is the very reason why we make music, paint, photograph, and write poetry. We take something that exists within all of us at our very fundamental core of emotions and through our artistic vision, lens, and creativity we are able to shape these emotions into reality. This reality of expression reaches all of us, moves, inspires and unites us. Photography has given me an expanded vision of the majestic beauty of the world...elevating my spirit, offering me the profound pleasure and passion to not only capture but share sublime beauty. There is no substitute for the joy, appreciation, and fulfillment that this priceless gift has brought into my life. - Parish Kohanim
