ABOUT
I am a self-taught film photographer with a home darkroom where I do my own processing and enlargements. I split my creative time exploring the possibilities of large format with my Kodak 2D 5x7, studio portraits with medium format and old hot lights, manipulating emulsion, and generally testing the limits of film.
Basically, I am an obsessive geek who never met a rabbit hole she wouldn’t jump into.
In addition to shooting film, I also work to promote film photography. I am the Executive Administrator and Curator for the Film Shooters Collective, where we provide a community for film photographers via online photo streams and articles, books, exhibits, and real life meet-ups and photo walks. I am also on the board of She Shoots Film, a group that is dedicated to promoting the film photography of women.
