I have three new 8x10 archival prints available in my print store ✿ edition of 10 copies each ✿
I had the best time giving my workshop on photographing & retouching bright colours this past month! I will be giving an encore of this workshop on Daisie - Thursday August 19 @ 2 pm EST
This month’s artist spotlight is Coyote Park - we’ve been in conversation a lot lately, and our images share similar visual x emotional language, so I think you all will appreciate their work.
Coyote Park (he/they) is a 2Spirit, mixed race (Korean, White, Native American) artist from Honolulu, Hawai'i that currently lives in Tongva Territory/Los Angeles. They are a photographer and storyteller who is Indigenous to California.
Park's practice is community and collaboration oriented, as they make photographs with their romantic partners and friendships. They are continuing to make photos in New York, California, and Hawai'i with other QTPOC and of queer/trans couples, evolving their work through time and new experiences. - from coyote’s website
