Osmyn J. Oree is a deeply passionate and highly driven, 29 yr. old photographer based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He became interested in fine art, nude photography at the age of 17, and has been a diehard devotee to the genre, ever since. Osmyn’s work focuses primarily on conceptual portraiture and the figure. It is of the utmost importance to Osmyn as a photographer – to always represent the human body (male or female), in a tasteful, yet thought provoking way – while still striving to meet his own high standards of excellence – in regards to the composition and quality of each individual photograph.
Although Osmyn oftentimes approaches photography as a means by which to express emotional responses to his own personal experiences – it was the lack of compelling nude photography in his small, conservative hometown that spurred his desire to explore the world of fine art nude portraiture himself – and in doing so, he has not only carved out his own, unique niche, but he has also filled a void in the Lancaster arts scene. A dedicated analog photographer, Osmyn stands out in a largely digital photography era, by shooting with a medium format Hasselblad camera.
