Using a process invented in the 1850s, these one of a kind images were created using silver, light, and a 100 year old wooden camera. All of these images were created using studio lighting.
Leather/Light is a collaborative effort between two artists who produce work entirely made by hand. With their chosen mediums of leather hides and silver and light, Katy McRoberts and Megan Karson seperately create pieces that are methodical and intentional.
This ongoing project is a way for me to try to capture extraordinary humans being their ordinary selves. No posing, no staging, no directing of any kind, just raw unedited portraits of the people in my life.
Images shot on medium format film in a Yashica TLR 124 Mat.
