I believe the portrait discloses more about the subject than what is found on the surface. The subject, either willingly or subconsciously, shows us more then they intends. The camera can see more than the naked eye, moving past our persona and catching a glimpse of who we really are.
Artist Biography
Jody Ake creates portraits, nudes, still lifes and landscape images using the wet collodion process,an historic photographic technique which involves using a large format camera and glass plates. Ake is one of a handful of contemporary artists who have revived this photographic method, hand-mixing all of the necessary chemicals for each and every exposure. He holds a BFA from the College of Santa Fe and a MFA from the University of Oregon. He currently lives and works in New York.
