Photographs from my recent travels in the American West
This exhibit showcases monochrome images from my “photo safaris” with my large-format film camera during the last few years. None of these works has been exhibited before. They include photographs from the Pacific Coast, the Oregon Outback and more. As is usual for me, nothing at all is digital. All the images were made with black-and-white film and enlarged in the darkroom onto silver-gelatin fiber-base photographic paper.
Doremus Scudder spent his early years in Southern Oregon He grew up with a deep appreciation of nature and became an avid outdoorsman. He learned the basics of photography when still a child, as well as developing an early love of classical music. He has pursued dual careers of photography and music since his university days.
Doremus’ work springs from the American West-Coast tradition of Straight Photography. He works exclusively in black-and-white, using large-format cameras and film, and hand-crafts prints in the darkroom using traditional photographic techniques. Nothing is done using digital technology.
Within this medium, he uses varied subject matter, careful organization of the subject, and a broad and expressive palette of tonalities to create compelling images of strong form, character and content. The photographs themselves are their own best description, expressing their wordless world powerfully and eloquently. They are able to be appreciated on many levels, being rich in immediate impact as well as yielding ever more profundity and detail over time.
Doremus Scudder’s work is exhibited widely and represented in numerous galleries and private collections throughout the United States and Europe.
More of his work can be seen at his website: www.DoremusScudder.com .
