I enjoy both the inspirational beauty of a natural setting and the creative challenges of a studio environment. The images I'm seeking to make are a blend of the classic and the surreal. Maybe I was born a hundred years too late but the softer feel of the Pictorialist movement calls more strongly to me than many images made today. The complexity of curve and line in a simple setting to create a timeless image is what I am after.
I am a serious amateur working in alternative process photography. I use various techniques to create my negatives, from infrared film and antique cameras to home made pinhole cameras. I then print these images using both traditional darkroom methods and alternative processes from the 19th century.
I am looking for models interested in a creative partnership on a collaborative basis for figure work in both the studio and on location. If you have an idea for a project, please feel free to contact me about it.
I have been kicking around an idea for a winter indoor series. I would like to try in camera multiple exposures combining a tight head shot in one section of the frame and a full figure nude or possibly a bodyscape in another section. The project will be shot with medium format film and printed as delicately petite (6x7 cm) alt-process prints. Sound like something you would like to try?
Can you come out and play?
