Abstract

This exploration of my photography concerns my own personal vision of women. I begin with a discussion on my autobiographical use of women as the central theme in my imagery. In this section I explore my preconceived approach to photography. A comparison of two of my photographs on the same theme serves to elucidate my concerns. I then explore my use of hand-applied color. This section begins with my first involvement with hand-coloring a black and white photograph. I continue with a discussion on the role hand-applied coloring has played in the history of photography with particular emphasis on Wallace Nutting. I then delve into my concerns with the symbolic and psychological aspects of color in my work. I conclude with a quotation from Cuevas por Cuevas which deals with the elements involved in an artist's creative processes.
