Bri Picone - Weekly Post 13

Jennifer Schlesinger




1) Jennifer Schlesinger uses a large format pinhole camera to create strong black and white images.  Light, movement, and shadow play an important role in her photos.  Her photos have a lot of contrast and have a soft focus.

2)  These photos are from Schlesinger's series Object Diaspora.  In this series, she explores the spiritual and sacred attachment to material objects.  She takes photos of objects that have belonged to someone else and attempts to capture the memory and spirit of those who have owned them.

3)  This series is really interesting to me because she doesn't just take a photo of a still object.  She shows the objects being used/worn/in action.  It's almost like she is bringing life to the objects and giving us a glimpse into the history of these objects.
