Printing Tutorials



This is a Canadian photographer who primarily works on film. This outlines the steps to ensure getting a good print that replicates what you see on screen. 


This second tutorial is great for black and white prints and I found it actually gave my images more of a darkroom warmer quality. I think to actually achieve better prints that emulates the dark room more would be to try warmer paper types. Canon paper is quite cold compared to the illford things.

The project explores themes of identity by exploring the changing political climate in Southern Alberta since the Covid-19 pandemic and the Trucker Convoy.

This most recent show I focused on the people and space and how they interact with one another. In the past I was caught up in the bands and how could I make them look cool. I traded this idea with caring more about the documentation element of these shows and how I could visually describe the culture at these events.

Projection Research: Avant Garde Horror

Here is what I am interested in doing. I love the tenseness of these sequences and specifically how the audio pairs with the visuals to make you uncomfortable.  I am working on creating an audio track to pair with this and the visuals a sense of confusion.
