I chose Carol Golemboski's Hairpiece. Her process is very creative. She manipulates each image for up to weeks or months to get it just right. She finds her objects at flea markets and antique shops and then arranges them for the perfect photograph. She uses natural lighting and shoots them with a medium format camera.
After shooting Golemboski begins that manipulation process with the negatives. She will scratch them or use many different mediums like graphite or ink to enhance the photographs. She uses transparent mylar or vellum on the tops of the images covered with charcoal to block the light and it then creates the white marks on the photographs. When she is done with the final prints she then archives them and sepia tones them.
Hairpiece is a black and white print and has a very historic feel to it. It makes you want to know the meaning behind the photograph. The image is very intriguing.
