Light Fixture & Store Window Geometries Statement
This category of collages comes from photographs shot into, inside, or through store windows and retail venues.
I love to photograph dazzling jewelry, light fixtures, store window tableaux, and reflections through glass. It’s can be a challenge to properly expose film in these situations, and I can’t be completely certain I have done so until I see the negatives.
I am often thrilled with the results, and love the act of making multiple darkroom prints, and hand-cutting and -arranging the elements for just the right look and feel.
