Loren Nelson
For over 45 years Loren Nelson has photographed with a Deardorff 4X5 view camera and film, and used a traditional darkroom to produce selenium-toned silver gelatin prints. Recently, he has also incorporated a digital workflow, using 35mm digital cameras and an iPhone to respond more spontaneously to his surroundings. Along with his darkroom work, he prints his digital images on fine-art papers using archival pigment inks. Ongoing bodies of work include Pacific Northwest landscapes, seascapes, botanicals, and Under Wraps, a series on plastic-wrapped buildings and landscapes.
