Cameraless

This body of work consists of still life photographs of found organic matter created without the use of a camera. Cameraless photography is an historic process in which light-sensitized paper is exposed in direct contact with an object. It’s rooted in the 19th-century cyanotypes of Anne Atkins and William Fox Talbot and the modern photograms of Man Ray.

Appropriating this early photographic technique in conjunction with 21st-century technology is the basis for my work. The process involves exposing organic subjects to light in a wet darkroom using a variety of homemade light sources and media. By this means I create paper negatives which serve as a matrix for making enlarged scans. The final images are printed on smooth matte paper using archival pigmented inks.

Print Info: Images are printed in limited editions of 10, 20, or 30, depending on the series.
