Alright so I found this guy about a month ago. I was talking to a friends roommate, who happened to a photographer for Skier Magazine. I asked the questions that one asks, what type of photography do you enjoy doing, who did you study with, yadada. Anywho, so while doing so she told me she studied with the guy. She showed me some of the prints that he had given her, and thus began my search for him.
I found that he and his wife work together on projects. He sets up the shots, and is in most of the shots, but she takes the pictures. The first thing that attracted me about the dude, was the originality of the prints, I had really never seen anything like this. His sets for his prints, as he said, sometimes take months. His images are mostly outside taken in his backyard. Then comes the printing, He prints a silver outlined print. Then he waits for it to be ready to be coated, like we would with sepia. But this is the best part. He coats them with beeswax. When that is dry, he outlines the print with black charkle.
I love this work. Its original, its kind of intense. I think it is beautiful. I love finding a new photographer, who does or is doing something completely different. I strive to do that. To make the viewer say wow, that different. And I really enjoyed how ParkeHarrison did and are doing this.
