About the author

Philip LoPresti is an author and photographer living in upstate New York. His work is often overtly emotional and thick with themes such as loss, redemption, mental illness, death, grief, and existentialism. When he's not writing or photographing everything he's usually obsessively reading Cormac McCarthy novels, hanging out with his dog and girlfriend, and watching horror, crime, and western films.

LoPresti has a way of doing just what the title suggests: of taking image and creating a transformation into something surreal, haunting, and beautiful. Stunning.
