I use the distortions of the pinhole camera and the colorizations created in Photoshop to create a series of visceral images that probe the unconscious mind. These images step away from the literal reality choosing instead to speak with a Jungian expressionism. Objects and places juxtaposed with the model trigger a response that I react to while colorizing each image. Through successive pulling of curves B&W values are replaced with color that ultimately connect with the dreamlike state of the finished image.
Biography: D A N M C C O R M A C K Fine Art Photographer I began studying Photography around 1965 at the Institute of Design in Chicago. My studies with Aaron Siskind, Joe Jachna, Arthur Siegal and Wynn Bullock gave me first hand experience with truly creative photographers. At the Art Institute of Chicago around 1969, I began photographing the nude with Wendy, my wife, and I began making multiple image prints. Then for over thirty years I explored various techniques and processes while photographing the nude as a central theme. In 1984, I began digital image making with the Apple IIe where I explored juxtapositions, ie. portraits on top of nudes and later pigment against raster scan lines. This led into the idea of scanning earlier images of my own of palladium diptychs of nudes in water and using them as modules for a new Photoshop series of composited images. Repeating the diptych image many times with strange overlaps create a surreal statement. Next I scanned a series of B&W Nimslo camera multiple image shots of figures. These I colorized and reduced in size using Photoshop so that the image became a color pattern where it was hard to discern a tiny nude. In 1998 I began to work with pinhole photography. I work an oatmeal box pinhole camera to make 8x10 inch B&W negatives. With its extreme wide angle and distortion, the camera gives me results that are constantly a surprise. I develop the B&W negatives, scan them into Photoshop, and then colorize the image by pulling curves in each of the channels. These images are rooted in 16th Century pinhole optics juxtaposed with 21st Century digital print manipulations. Using the distortions of the pinhole camera and the colorizations created in Photoshop, I create a series of visceral images that probe the unconscious mind. These images step away from the literal reality choosing instead to speak with a Jungian expressionism. Objects and places juxtaposed with the model trigger a response that I react to while colorizing each image. Through successive pulling of curves B&W values are replaced with color that ultimately connect with the dreamlike state of the finished image. I currently head the Photography program at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York where I teach photography classes and an Introduction to Digital Media class.
