Phillip Turk

Biography

For more than 35 years, Phillip T. Turk has been perfecting his signature style, creating a unique blend of emotion and technique. He has worked for years on his creative process to make it a consistent and integral extension of his life. A graduate of Florida State University in 1970, Turk studied photography in the university’s Bachelor of Fine Arts program. Turk was able to explore a myriad of photographic concepts and ideas, creating a variety of techniques that provide him with his own eclectic photographic style.

He chooses to express emotion more than technical perfection, and says he feels the pursuit of an elusive technical perfection, in and of itself, can be a trap that inhibits one’s creative development. “I invite my audience to have questions about my art,” he says, “and if I’ve done my job well, those questions always challenge.”
