"Paul Shambroom is a photographer who explores American power and culture." as stated by www.paulshambroomart.com, in his lecture Shambroom gave examples of how his art represents this common theme of the modern day empire. As he confessed Shambroom is a very series oriented artist, creating many series about power some involving weapons both in used and retired. Shambroom expressed his initial work in the commercial industry sparked his interest in factories, and also office spaces. this interest developed into a very honed in desire to capture the image of power in different forms. the images I found most compelling were his images in the series titled; security and Meetings. These images seem realistic and really engage me as a viewer. Shambroom is a wonderfully charismatic speaker and It was truly a pleasure to listen to what he had to say, his experience and knowledge was both inspirational and truthful.
