For over 20 years, Raynor has been chasing light and capturing beautiful moments on camera. My goal when photographing is simply to be present, to accept what is given and find the beauty in that. Detachment, like the camera itself, is an integral part of Raynor’s art. “Letting go leaves room for variation, room for the unknown to happen, and that’s where some incredible things can happen”.
The Japanese have, for centuries, understood the value of “wabi-sabi,” or “perfect imperfection” and Raynor has similarly been able to embrace the inconsistencies that photography can create. “I’m trying to be an imperfectionist, really, in my photography, to leave room for mistakes or anomalies. That’s where the real beauty comes from,” Raynor says. “Of course, strive for greatness in your craft. But perfection? … it’s not for me.”
You can see more of Raynor’s work or learn about his photography tours at the Crested Butte Fine Art Gallery at 403 3rd Street in Crested Butte.
