         Howard Harris, a name that resonates in the global art
         community, is renowned for his exceptional works that
         beautifully amalgamate fine art photography and digital art, all
         underpinned by cutting-edge technology. Harris has deliberately
         chosen a medium that is undeniably a modern genre of art. This
         choice demands a high level of skills and vision, attributes that
         Harris possesses and exhibits at an extraordinary level.
         His unique style in Dimensional photographic art is characterized by
         expressionistic imagery. He has pioneered a technique of his own:
         Techspressionism. This innovative approach involves manipulating
         angles, lighting, and positioning to introduce multiple dimensions to
         the same subject. The result is art that is visually provocative and
         stimulating, challenging the viewer’s perception and interpretation.
         Harris’s work is not merely about aesthetics; it’s a blend of
         aesthetics and technology designed to provide a perceptual
         experience that is dynamic for viewers. His artworks stand out
         from typical fine art photography due to the different layers
         associated with them. The three main elements Harris employs
         to create such an immersive experience for viewers include   through different dimensions. To mirror this concept in his art, Harris
         media, color, and the nature of abstraction. These elements are   uses layers to achieve depth in his images, thereby creating an
         harmoniously blended to form a multidimensional art form that   optically illusory experience. This technique results in imagery that
         aims to create perceptual variation as the targeted outcome.  simultaneously impacts our external perception and internal feelings
         Harris’s work is heavily influenced by his understanding of quantum   - a common feature in his dimensional photography.
         mechanics, a field that delves into the complexities of reality   Every piece of artwork by Harris is a carefully constructed
                                                              juxtaposition of light, space, and movement elements. It’s not
                                                              just a product of visual mechanics; it’s a testament to Harris’s
                                                              mastery over his craft. The ultimate goal behind each work is to
                                                              emphasize the variations in perception that exist for every single
                                                              thing in the world.
                                                              This goal aligns with the fundamental principle of quantum
                                                              mechanics: the observer affects the observed. In Harris’s work,
                                                              this principle comes alive as each viewer may perceive his artwork
                                                              differently based on their unique perspective. This interplay
                                                              between the artwork and the viewer creates a dynamic relationship
                                                              where both are active participants in the artistic process.
                                                              In conclusion, Howard Harris’s work transcends traditional
                                                              boundaries of fine art photography by introducing multiple
                                                              dimensions and layers into each piece. His unique approach
                                                              -Techspressionism - combined with his understanding of quantum
                                                              mechanics results in artwork that is not only visually stunning
                                                              but also intellectually stimulating. Each piece invites viewers on a
                                                              journey of exploration and discovery, challenging their perceptions
                                                              and offering new perspectives on reality.
