"My goal with my photographs is not to strictly document the environment, but also to convey my experiences with it and feelings about it. To help achieve this, I use a variety of post-processing methods to create something that I can call my own. In the past I was more liberal with this process, but over the last few years I've been finding I prefer to do less. Each photograph in my portfolio contains the year to help show my progression as an artist."

 

Tristan is a firm believer in trying new compositions and visiting the lesser known places, although he still appreciates the famous icons!

 

The inspiration for his art comes from many different sources and mediums, from painters to authors and other photographers... and more! Much of his formative inspiration came from Cory Trépanier, Terry Brooks, Tolkien, Marc Adamus, Ted Gore, Ryan Dyar, Artur Stanisz and Adam Gibbs. This is far from an exhaustive list, and many other photographers and artists continue to inspire him with their work and dedication.
