Warren Simons practices the art of seeing. Photographs can come from a place where we let go of our expectations and preconceived ideas, and instead open to curious exploration, letting the visual surprises in the everyday world find us.
Simons’s images express moments of clear, fresh connection with the visual world, where eye, mind, and heart converge.
He follows his own road of study, learning from photographers, painters, art teachers, writers, potters, and poets. He has practiced the art of seeing with the camera for 21 years.
Having grown up in Massachusetts, he lived in New York City for 25 years and now makes his home in Montgomery, AL.

Good photography, or any other manifestation in man, comes from a state of grace. Grace comes when you are delivered from convention, obligations, conveniences, competition, and you are free, like a child in his or her first discoveries of reality. You walk around in surprise, seeing reality as it is for the first time.
—Sergio Larraín Chilean photographer
