Chemigrams are an experimental art form made by chemically manipulating light-sensitive paper. These were made using a variety of resists that include common kitchen and household items such as eggs, butter, jelly, cooking spray, sunscreen, dish soap, and tape. The resists are applied to the paper while the paper is being exposed to light and then moved back and forth between developer and fix until the desired result is achieved.
I'm excited to share that my #metoo series was selected as a top 50 finalist out of 700 entries in the international Hahnemühle Student Photo Competition entitled Show Us Your Series. I feel so honored to of been selected as one of the top 50 finalists from over 700 entries, especially in an international competition. I love to print my own work so I especially loved getting to test print on all the different papers Hahnemühle sent me and observing the differences each paper made on my image. As an added bonus my work and that of the other finalists was [...]
Alt. Process This collection of work features images created through alternative photographic processes (non-silver gelatin) in the Alternative Processes in Photography class. JSU Student Art Gallery October 30th - December 3rd, 2019 I organized and helped install this art show in the JSU Student Art Gallery. This project was one of the requirements for my graduate Alt.

Collecting work for the exhibit was a bit of a challenge so the show ended up being mostly my work, but also included several pieces by Abigail Read, Morgan Worsham, and Evan Thomas. Work [...]
Wet cyanotype toned in black tea and red wine.
Cyanotypes are a photographic printing process that use a mixture of potassium ferricyanide and ferric ammonium to create a cyan-colored print. The cyanotypes in this series feature an image I took of Vinales Valley, Cuba when I traveled there in 2016. I created a digital negative, hand-coated the paper, and exposed these images under UV lighting in the darkroom. The cyanotypes below were then toned with different chemicals for varying amounts of time to alter the color of the final image and paper. Toned Cyanotypes
