TITLE: Skin on Silver

Actualizing what I really have in mind to create with a particular model takes a lot of psychic energy and open-mindedness to what happens in the moment, and of all the subject matter I ever work with, it is probably the most satisfying when a nude image does come together. These were all shot on film. Some images were flashed during printing, producing darkroom solarizations. Film and gelatin silver printing combine to yield a “curve”, which allows successful representation of the beauty of human skin.

AUTHOR: Diane Kaye (United States)

Diane Kaye has won awards and exhibited internationally. Her process and tools span from gelatin silver photograms to cameraless digital prints, and she typically has little allegiance to specific subject matter, but tends to use almost anything at hand to arrange within the photographic frame. She takes special care in arranging forms, surfaces, tonalities, relationships, and qualities of light and the tensions resulting from specific arrangements with or without a camera. Her photograms and lumen prints harken back to much earlier times in the history of this glorious medium, whereas her lith printing yields a special newer form of alternative process print. Two of her printing processes, strangely enough, employ black and white darkroom paper to create color prints!
She is the recipient of the prestigious Associate Distinction of the Royal Photographic Society.
