1. Ian Ruther is well known for his photography style. He does not care for the newest technology that is provided for photography and resorts to making photos the old fashion way. He is a creative man and designed a truck around his whole concept at one point. The world of photography he feels as gone so far off track that he brings it back. He decided to use a 19th century process called wet plate collodion to take his art to a higher place.
2. These photos are form the gallery, When Dreams Collide. He shoots a person or place and then distorts the image to look dark and mysterious. This gives the vibe of possible tragedy and darkness. Most of Ian's work is black, white and silver. Any yellow or brightness is from the amount of light that he has allowed in. This is also because of the type go photo media Ian has chosen to work with.
3. Ian was brave to take a truck and turn it into his home/work place and creative zone. This is a man who is serious about the art and media but doesn't want to be distracted b the newest technologies. He has a key eye for the blacks, whites and grey that are in his pictures. Knowing that he prefers to work that way it stamps his own style in the photography world. I like how each pictures has a smokey or a sense of fear aspect to it, as if one was in the dream with them.
