Hannah Zach - Artist Post 5

Chelsea Cavanaugh




These photographs were taken by Chelsea Cavanaugh in Giverny, France at Claude Monet's garden.  They provide a wonderful display of beautiful colors which accent the creatively constructed compositions. cavanaugh used a technique for double exposure in the darkroom to make these wonderful creations.

Her aim for the pictures was to establish a feeling of impressionism to embody the original inspiration of her inspiration, Monet.  The double exposure effect in an effort to convey the sense of authenticity, as well as the mystique qualities of the art.

I think that these photographs are very well done, and crafted amazingly.  I feel the essence of Monet's vision existing vicariously through these images, giving me a feeling of the realness of photography, while simultaneously portraying a fantasy-like aspect to them, which is exactly what she was going for.
