 Dan McCormack's Photography
I use the distortions of the oatmeal box pinhole camera and the digital
colorizations to create a series of visceral images that probe the unconscious,
stepping away from the literal reality and choosing instead to speak with an
expressionism. Through successive pulling of curves, B&W values are replaced
with color in separate channels that ultimately create the dreamlike state of the finished piece. Objects or places juxtaposed with the model trigger a response
that I react to while colorizing and the resulting images range from the absurd
to the profound and from gender issues to politics.
In 1998 I began to work with pinhole photography. Using an oatmeal box
pinhole camera, I shoot 8x10 inch B&W film. With its extreme wide angle and
distortion, the camera gives results that are constantly a surprise. I develop the
B&W negatives, scan them into Photoshop, and then colorize each image. This
work is rooted in 16th Century with the pinhole optics and combined with the
21st Century digital print manipulations. With its solarization-like tone reversals
and silkscreen-like color layering, these images are a hybrid of Photography and Digital Printmaking.
