My latest endeavor is one that has become of great importance to me. It started out as a final in my Historical Processes class. I was to complete a series of photos and print them using one of the many historical printing forms. I explained to my teacher that I wanted to do a group of portraits using a large format camera (a film camera which uses a 4"x5" or more negative), using the kallitype process. He responded with "I like the idea, but why would you be grouping these people together?"
I thought. And thought. And thought....
Scars.
After shooting a few portraits, I soon realized that this was something that could mean something more to people more than myself, and it quickly became more than just a homework assignment, transforming into one of the most important works in my young career. It is now the series that I will use for what is called a "BFA show"(Bachelor of Fine Arts Show), and will be a part of a BFA student gallery that showcases the work of graduating fine arts students.
Here are a few examples of what I have done so far:
