Mixed Media with Aaryn Lee
Recently I’ve been requested by more artists for portraiture. Not all of the time, but more often than not, if an artist approaches me for a project, it’s a guaranteed yes.
Aaryn Lee is one of those artists.
Art is such an intimate thing. I want to say true art is intimate, expressing your inner most thoughts, but what does that even mean? Who defines that? I would argue that no one can, but that might also be too far of a statement.
What I do know is that Aaryn’s work resonates with me. “Her work tends to be organic in structure, somber in mood, and touched with the muted overcast tones from her hometown of Portland, Oregon” from Aaryn’s site.
Exploring her work could not have come at a better time as we transition into this darker season of the year. Viewing her pieces brings a sense of depth and understanding that I enjoy.
These are two photographs from the project. They were shot with a Leica M7 / Leica 90mm Summicron on Ilford PanF 50 35mm film, using Paul C. Buff lighting.
I would encourage you to go check out Aaryn’s instagram for some new upcoming work. I hope you enjoy.
