Traditional Photography Portfolio by Eddy McDonald |

Artist's Statement: Photography is a collaborative art, the product of an interaction between photographer and subject. As a photographer, I choose the subject at which I aim my lens. It may be a dancer on a stage, a beautiful face, a rusted padlock; or just the interaction between light and shadow as they mingle on a wall. I interact with all these things to create photographs. Although what I create may be just an image --a two-dimensional abstraction of a three-dimensional reality-- sometimes these images are more than they appear to be. Sometimes they can show us something we have never seen before -- or a new way of seeing something we see every day. Sometimes they offer us a glimpse of that which cannot be seen. When they do that… then they have become Art. |
Technical Information: The photographs in this portfolio were made with a variety of film formats, including 35mm, medium format, and 4x5. All were shot with film, mostly Ilford HP5+, but also Delta 100 and XP2. They are all hand printed by myself, usually on either Ilford Galerie or Bergger CB Art Warmtone paper, in sizes from 8x10 to 16x20. |
