I'm a contemporary photographer using experimental analog processes to transform familiar subjects. Color is central to my work.
Every spring the Atlanta dogwoods bloom, and every spring I return to the same trees hoping to make something new. For Electric Dogwoods, I soaked expired, discontinued film in household substances, a technique called film soup, then let it dry for six months. The emulsion transformed before a single frame was taken. At peak bloom, I shot it and developed it myself.
What came back was electric: blooms pulsing with color and texture built by months of chemistry. Everything was made in camera, without Photoshop or AI, and cannot be replicated.
The results were unpredictable, but not accidental. These are the dogwoods you know, seen through film that had already become something else.
