Mary Morris' Weekly Blog Post



Jane Olin has been working as a photographer for over 25 years. She uses the darkroom as her way to add her creative input. She adds special toners to add her specific coloring to her images. One thing in her artist statement that stood out to me was the fact that she isn't afraid to take risks. She isn't afraid to crop in irregular dimensions or keep her photos unfocused. Her compositions are simplistic and soothing.
Olin is known for her nude photos of the female body and landscapes. These photographs are from her series "Quiet Landscapes 1." Olin uses an almost sepia coloring to these photographs to add interest. Her photographs have a spiritual atmosphere.
