Cali Hobgood-Lemme

My images are hand-colored black and white photographs, which I print in a silver-process darkroom and then paint with oils. All of my photographic work is done by my hand. The combination of my high-contrast printing style in the darkroom and my hand-coloring technique gives my images a three-dimensional quality, and between the variability of printing the negatives individually and then hand-coloring the photograph, each piece in an edition is unique. The signed and numbered images are produced in editions from five to two hundred.
