The Unique View: Camera Obscura Photographs, 2010
STATEMENT
Working in the tradition of Vera Lutter and Abelardo Morell, Bailey Russel creates captivating photographs using various custom-made camera obscuras. These cameras range in size from a small box designed for 8”x10” sheet film holders, to hotel rooms that overlook a city scape. The final images offer us unique, contemporary perspectives of archetypal images.
