01 For Jurying Consideration

Photography existed before cameras, and it is possible to photographically print objects as long as light passes through them. I enjoy controlling light and the colour darkroom is the most amount of control I have over it.

This mixture allows me to look at the subject up close, and take photos using light sensitive paper.

The Moon

I am usually a technique first type of artist and for this one I wanted to try Mezzotint. Mezzotint is one of the earliest ways of achieving tone in intaglio that is not being practiced as much due to the intense physical labour and instability of... More
