Thoughts behind

Choosing Helena Chapellín Wilson was more of a draw towards her images at first and then the understanding of how she came to them. Rhythm of time and trying to capture dreams and the passage of time really stuck out to me. So in my response to her work I tried to encompass this idea. While I do not have the ability to use a nineteenth-century process of gum bichromate printing for an overall aesthetic I tried to used color, light and speed to capture a rhythm or passage of time referencing my own life.

Helena Chapellín Wilson

Untitled, 1994

For more than twenty years, Helena Chapellín Wilson has created a body of images with figure, object, and spatial relationships that arrest moments from the rhythm of reality. Utilizing the nineteenth-century process of gum bichromate printing, Wilson shapes compositions based on nature, dreams, and the passage of time.

The 5 Uploads

All these photos were taken with no concept in mind besides the pleasantness of aesthetics.

These sort of top two were taken just in the spur of the moment no real concentration on shutter speed, aperture or ISO. And they turned out ok. The hat on the table speaks a little louder than the pink borscht. Yes borscht. It is a soup my roommate made that is incredibly pink. Beautiful colors!!!!!

These middle two are explained below: middle being the screen and purple bottle cap.

The middle two are photos that were more effective shot with and without macro on. The screen was done with macro on with a low ISO where the bottle cap was not shot on macro. Which was my intent to make the image fuzzy and almost non-recognizable.

The bottom two are just completely different animals in general. Since I am versed in the art of black and white film image making I thought it would be effective to play around with the camera mode on black and white. Shot this one with a wide aperture and a fast shutter speed and got a pretty interesting image. It's a little blasted out in some areas but overall not bad.

The bird on wire photo was along the lines of the first set of images by Nancy Merkling. Lit up background with a blacked out foreground. Wide aperture shortish shutter speed.

Creation

In my sixth year here at UW Milwaukee I will be on my last leg as an undergraduate finally!

Six years ago I came to this University from Green Bay to become a concert violinist. And just as soon as I got here that plan wet straight to hell. However, for many years before all that I was very much involved in art. I loved painting and drawing. Pretty much I loved using the other half of my brain on a regular basis. So finally one summer, after I finished my foundations courses I took and Intro to Photography class and pretty much fell in love. Which now, as you could have guessed, is my major.

My interest in photography came from the sweet and quick "instant gratification" images cameras allowed you to produce. Instead of drawing made up facial expressions, scenes or places, photography captured moments and events in a blink of an eye. That was how I became interested in photography eight years ago. But it was that summer class, however, that opened my mind to all the possibilites a camera and image could transform into.
