Nightdreams

Many of the photos on this page were produced in the darkroom, using traditional manipulative techniques to achieve the surreal images. 
 

 

 

A digital image of the sky, exactly as I discovered it.

 

 

 

 

A digital image, brightened.

 

 

 

 

This photo was created by 'sandwiching' two black and white negatives together and then coloring the finished picture using colored pencils.

 

 

 

 

 

An infrared photo, incorrectly exposed. I kept it because I liked the shadowy, foggy, and mysterious aura it has.

 

 

 

 

This picture illustrates the importance of lighting and how it's proper use can produce dramatic effects.  To achieve this look I draped a length of black lace across the model's face. I then sepia toned the final image to warm it up.

 

 

 

This was one of the most frustrating photos in all my darkroom experiences! Every part of this photo required either dodging or burning to get the proper exposure.  This was a statue attached to a wooden cross about 30 feet tall in a graveyard in Norfolk, Va.  The weather and time had worn away the face of the statue, and I didn't want that to detract from the picture, so I deliberately overexposed the area to keep it in shadow.

 

 

 

 

 

A digital image, where color and texture and shape all come together just so...

 

 

 

This picture, taken in Suffolk, Va. was originally a black and white image which was then solarized in the darkroom and then placed face down on a blank piece of photo paper and exposed to the enlarger light for a period of ten seconds. The blank photo paper was then developed the same as any other photograph, and this is the finished product.
