Margaret Durow

Margaret Durow  is a biology major in wisconsin. she seems to use film with her black and white and color photos, but she doesnt specify. Thats all I know about her....
Some of her photos are double exposures and they have a dreamlike feeling to them.  They are dark but feel so light, if that makes sense. Her black and white really caught my eye because of the sandwiching and the graininess.

alison scarpulla

Alison is from NY state and recieved her first camera at the age of 15. She took a photo class in high school and experimented with double exposure and different developing methods through trial and error. Her images have a sort of morbid and psychadelic feeling that directly relate to her experiences growing up. She says that the desaturated look of her photos is a mix between drug store processing, expired film and a dirty or wet lens. She uses only film because she feels digital doesn't give the save feeling. Alison gets her inspiration from old books and films, woods, and nature, and also old photographs.

Ellen Rogers

Ellen is a london based photographer based In London. She focus solely on fashion photographer. She does not do any digital editing whatsoever except to scan them at the end. She uses about 30 types of cameras, including 4x5, 35 mm, and 6x6; depending on her mood. She has a whole but of "q & a" on her website and all I have to saay is that it is all a huge turn off. She goes on about how she will not tell anyone what her process is and that she refuses to shoot bands because she doesnt want to be associated with it. I actually read all of that info after I put up the pictuers and stuff or I would have never supported her... shes a total bitch!! She also states that she does not use assistants soo dont even ask. And then!!!!! she says that if you want to do an interview that you should read previous ones because it gets boring being asked the same questions. This girl could not be any less appreciative. She needs a reality check.... anyway she seems to use a lot of coloring on her prints and some times its a little much but over all I like her work. 










Dusdin Condren

 Dusdin Condren is a photographer based in Brooklyn. He shots 95% of his work with film and enjoys polaroid. I researched his name and i found an interview he did and he was saying that he wants to take pictures because it feels good. He finds a lot of things beautiful, like trees buildings, cats and people, and his camera forces him to look at those things.  He has a connection to the people and places he shoots. His lighting and focus is soft, and the colors are desaturated which I LOVE.
