The Art of the Personal Project is a crucial element to let potential buyers see how you think creatively on your own. I am drawn to personal projects that have an interesting vision or that show something I have never seen before. In this thread, I’ll include a link to each personal project with the artist statement so you can see more of the project. Please note: This thread is not affiliated with any company; I’m just featuring projects that I find. Please DO NOT send me your work. I do not take submissions.
Today’s featured artist: Geoff Cardin
Bringing the old world into the new, Geoff Cardin’s, Ground Glass Project, is a portrait project reminiscent of the early days of photography where pictures were not taken, but photographs were created. Using an 8×10 view camera to create the look and feel of the portrait while photographing the ground glass with a digital camera, this project blends old techniques with modern technology to create a truly unique experience and portrait. This project is all about the people and capturing the unique personalities of each person.
