这一系列蓝晒印刷品展示了我在替代工艺摄影方面的实验。项目的目标是打破我对数码摄影只能打印在照片纸上的预设观念。通过将数码图像打印为负片透明胶片，我可以将正片曝光在涂有蓝晒乳剂的纸上。除了两张之外，这些印刷品都使用了数据弯曲技术进行操作。这一过程涉及将图像转换为声音文件，在Audacity（一个声音编辑平台）中进行编辑，然后再导出回图像。结果在文件导出之前是未知的。
This collection of cyanotype prints demonstrates my experimentation into alternative process photography. The goal of the project was to break out of my preconceived idea that digital photography can only be printed on photo paper. By printing digital images as negative transparencies, I could expose positives onto paper coated with cyanotype emulsion. With the exception of two, these prints were manipulated using data bending. This process involves converting an image into a sound file, editing it in Audacity, a sound editing platform), then exporting back into an image. While , the result of the image isn’t known until the file is exported.

这项作品旨在打破摄影仅仅作为机械复制的局限。我想探讨如何将抽象的情感转化为照片。抑郁、焦虑、困顿感和找到希望是这些图像中的潜流。制作这项作品所需的稳定进程使我理解到，运动是将自己从深渊中提升出来的关键。唯一的出路是向上。
This body of work is an attempt to break away from photography simply as mechanical reproduction. I wanted to tackle the question of how abstract emotions could be translated into a photograph. Depression, anxiety, feeling stuck and finding hope are undercurrents throughout these images. The steady progression of process required to produce this work allowed me to understand that motion is the key to lifting myself out of the depths. The Only Way Out is Up.

加布里埃尔·埃舍尔·凯尔西（2002年出生于纽约中部）是一位摄影师和设计师，现居住在纽约中部。情感和记忆是他作品的核心部分，他经常使用抽象手法来探索自己心理健康的各个方面。过程是他作品的重要组成部分，他将数码照片打印为蓝晒图。凯尔西曾获得学术艺术与写作的荣誉奖提名。他的作品曾在教育部的学生艺术展览项目中展出。他获得了圣迈克尔学院的艺术与设计学士学位。最近，他在佛蒙特州科尔切斯特的西里尔·斯隆艺术画廊举办了题为“唯一的出路是向上”的个人展览。
作为一名摄影师，我曾经为自己比不上绘画同行的创意而苦恼。制作一张照片似乎不如创作一幅画那样需要技巧。发现蓝晒法让我能够创作出独特而抽象的印刷品。刷上蓝晒乳剂让我能够控制图像的出现位置，并允许颜色和色调的变化。我的数码创作因此转化为模拟物品。
Gabriel Escher Kelsey (b. 2002 Central New York) is a photographer and designer based in Central New York. Emotion and memory are integral parts of his work, often using abstraction to explore facets of his mental health. Process is an integral part of his work, printing digital photographs as cyanotypes. Kelsey has received an honorable mention from Scholastics Art and Writing. His work has been shown in the Department of Education under their Student Art Exhibit Program. He received his B.A. in Art and Design from Saint Michael’s College. He recently had a solo show titled “The Only Way Out is Up” in the Cyril Sloane Art Gallery in Colchester, Vermont.
As a photographer, I have grappled with feeling less creative than my painterly peers. Producing a photograph can seem less skillful than creating a painting. Discovering the cyanotype process allowed me to create unique and abstract prints. Brushing on the cyanotype emulsion gives me control of where the image will appear and allows for variation of color and tone. My digital creations are transformed into analog objects.
