Bio

 

New York born Carol Schiraldi is a fine art photographer currently living outside of Austin, Texas with her curly black dog, Chase. A master of shooting architecture in all its many forms, Carol loves the detail, form and structure of buildings and man-made constructs, often contrasting them with her natural surroundings. Her passion for experimentation has given her work a dramatic signature style. Since her first public exhibition in a local ice cream parlor in Austin, her photographic work has gone on to be exhibited in galleries and museums around the world as well as included in publications and many sites on the web.

 

Carol's Little World, the award winning website she created, showcases what critics often call her quirky creative style.

 

 

Statement

A touch of softness...a hint of femininity...the first fall of a snowflake...the wisp of the hemline on a soft pink dress...the winding curves of a human form in repose...a cross atop a Gothic cathedral on a hillside...a white horse feeding in the mist...a city untouched by time and tide for hundreds of years...a broken winged bird...a Vespa navigating down a narrow cobblestone alleyway in some long forgotten colonial city...a statue the locals call 'requiem for an angel'...a white scarf fluttering in the breeze...a cat named "Boo..."

Photography is the boarding pass for my next destination. It surfs, it plays a mean electric guitar, and it lets me have the first lick from all of its ice cream cones. It's what I always wanted it to be, yet it surprises me each and every time I look through the lens.

Where will my photography lead me next? Only my imagination and my destiny know for sure.
