One of the techniques I stumbled across has made a real impact on my style of work; it’s called the “Chromoskedasic Sabbatier (or solarization) process”. I know, it’s a bit of a mouthful, but it’s almost harder to pronounce than it is to apply. Almost.

A photographer must work hard to deconstruct the subject in front of the lens and devoid it of it's original real world meaning. We do have tools to distort the reality in front of the lens though, and it is the masterful and creative use of these tools that I admire in the work of all the photographers in my selection today. I hope you enjoy the show.
