New York, NY

These images are part of a ongoing personal project that I simply adore working on. They were crafted using a large format camera, and processed by hand using traditional darkroom techniques.  This process is nothing short of serendipitous and magical. You truly will never know what an image looks like until after it is fully processed. The boarders around the images are photograms, a technique made popular by botanist and photographer, Anna Atkins, who heavily influences my work today. These photograms were made by exposing foliage to the light sensitive paper that the image was also being exposed onto. The way this historical process romanticizes the photographs and transports me back in time truly makes my heart skip a beat.
