Andrew Cari

Andrew Cari was eleven when his father put a fully adjustable Zeiss Ikon Contaflex and a light meter in his hands. He showed him how to take a meter reading, set the f-stop and shutter speed, focus, and compose a shot. Thousands of exposures later, he is now focused on documentary subjects, environmental portraiture, architecture, and street photography. He has also explored 19th-century photographic processes, circa 1840, based on the concept of the Talbotype, using a camera obscura and waxed-paper negatives, combined with digital technology. Recently, he has waded into Pictorialism, as the work here demonstrates.
