Unique hand-made photographic cards |
||
|
|
I produce hand-made greetings cards using my own black and white photographic images. Each image is a unique photogram, made by shining light onto objects placed directly on photographic paper. |

Working in a darkroom in my house in Brixton, South London, I use a range of objects, natural and man-made, such as bottles, junk metal, card, seed-heads, flowers etc. I expose them to a variety of light sources: an enlarger, torches, spotlights, table lamps, even the room light! Shining light at different angles and for different lengths of time creates surprising and highly distinctive images. The photos on the website are an indication of the styles of image available, but each card will be different and individual. The range of images changes over time as I discover new objects, or as natural materials wither and disintegrate. I don't take photos of objects so there are no negatives, and each card is available just as long as the object lasts. |
