Dark Silver: Portraits 2016

In another installment in the ongoing Dark Silver portraits, this new series explores the portrait through large and medium format cameras, and traditional silver gelatin prints. As with previous series, the subjects were recruited and volunteered through social media. They had no specific expectations and were subject to my direction for the brief set of exposures we created in the studio. The ongoing series seeks to connect a sense of trust and self awareness through the slow medium of traditional film photography. Each photo is a meditation on the interplay of light and gesture, refracted through the lens and onto the sheet of film.
