Mollie Schaidt Weekly Post 11

Sara Cwynar

1. Sara Cwynar is a Canadian photographer who uses both a mix of film and digital. Cwynar is inspired by the look of old film photography. She creates still-life images of "found elements", sets them up and the produces them in chromogenic prints.
2. Cwynar makes c-prints of still life's which are manipulated in Photoshop. Photoshop takes part in every photograph she makes. Cwynar plays with the image enough so there is balance of reality and her power to deceive through manipulation. The photos that were chosen are from two different series, but the same process was used for each.
3. My first reaction was "wow"! I love the idea of Cwynar uses old and new, and how the effect of the digital manipulation makes the photograph amazing. It seems as the photos are letting the viewer enter another realm of photography purposely deceiving the viewers eye. These images remind me of a hologram how when you move it, it changes the perspective of the picture.
