Pinhole Camera Nudes
I use the distortions of the oatmeal box pinhole camera and the digital
colorizations to create a series of visceral images that probe the unconscious,
stepping away from the literal reality and choosing instead to speak with a
Jungian expressionism. Objects or places juxtaposed with the model trigger a
response that I react to while colorizing. Through successive pulling of curves
B&W values are replaced with color in separate channels that ultimately
connect with the dreamlike state of the finished image.
In 1998 I began to work with pinhole photography. Using an oatmeal box
pinhole camera, I shoot 8x10 inch B&W film. With its extreme wide angle and
distortion, the camera gives results that are constantly a surprise. I develop the
B&W negatives, scan them into Photoshop, and then colorize the image.
This imagery, rooted in 16th Century pinhole optics, juxtaposed with 21st
Century digital print manipulations, is a hybrid of Photography and Digital
Printmaking.
I am working with image files that are large enough to make final digital
prints using Ultrachrome inks on archival matt paper in a limited edition of 25
in each print size, matted to 30” x 24” listed for $ 1500.00 or 20” x 16”
listed for $ 750.00.
