Mr. Alpert clicks his camera's shutter and then returns to his digital darkroom to transform his photo into a painting.

Marv likes to call what he does a unique blend of fine art painting, photography and technology. His photography is a blending of art, emotion, selection, experience, science and timing. Marv calls his mixed media style “photo-paintography�?

Mr. Alpert merges the antiquity of scenes in <st1:country-region><st1:place><st1:country-region><st1:place>Italy</st1:place></st1:country-region></st1:place></st1:country-region> with cutting edge graphic design. His photographs allow one to step back in time to those images that capture the soul of an ancient tranquil time while using modern digital computer technological advances. The process begins, like all good art, in the mind of the maker. He decides which specific scene to capture on film, which "slice of life" to transform into a work that conveys a message or feeling that the artist wants to convey to his viewer. Marv often feels overwhelmed when shooting his photos in <st1:country-region><st1:place><st1:country-region><st1:place>Italy</st1:place></st1:country-region></st1:place></st1:country-region>, trying to select the one proper scene or person to photograph from the vast beauty of antiquity in the many picturesque small towns of <st1:country-region><st1:place><st1:country-region><st1:place>Italy</st1:place></st1:country-region></st1:place></st1:country-region>.

The style of Marv's work is Impressionistic. This soft blending of small strokes or dabs of paint gives his work a calming and natural tone. Marv says, “My work depends on a conveying of a mood, using photographic lines to paint strokes by choosing the specific digital paintbrushes from a myriad of homemade and commercial digital filters�? The filters employ user-defined brushes, which vary in size and texture, orientation, angle, color, percentage of coverage and pressure.
