Artist Challenge - Susan Burnstine

November 15th, 2016
I would like to thank everyone who voted for my photo as the winner of the last artist challenge.

This is apparantly challenge number 111, so there are a lot of artists who have already had their moment of glory! I've chosen someone that I have only come across recently, but I love the dreamy (& sometimes, slightly sinister) look of her work.

The next Artist Challenge is ...... SUSAN BURNSTINE

'Susan Burnstine is an award winning fine art and commercial photographer originally from Chicago now based in Los Angeles. Initially, Burnstine sought to find a way to portray her dream-like visions entirely in-camera, rather than with post-processing digital manipulations. To achieve this, she has created twenty-one handmade film cameras and lenses that are frequently unpredictable and technically challenging. The cameras are primarily made out of plastic, vintage camera parts, and random household objects, with single-element lenses molded from plastic and rubber.'

I'm not expecting anyone to make themselves a camera for this but Holga lenses, pinhole effects and/or post processing might be useful!

Some of Susan's work, publications and more information can be found here

The challenge will run from today - 15th November until midnight UK time on 30th November. Photos taken for this challenge must have been taken within this timeframe.
