The Nightskye - Lance Keimig Photographics

Description

The Night Skye website is named for my son Skye, the Isle of Skye in Scotland, and because for many years I photographed almost exclusively at night. I fell in love with the Skye on my first brief visit there in 1995, and have returned many times since. My interest in Night Photography dates back to 1984 when I was first introduced to the camera. My earliest pictures were experimental in nature. Multiple exposures, long exposures, and light painting with a flashlight all intensified my interest in the possibilities photography had to offer.

In recent years, I have been photographing more and more during daylight hours. My photographs are as much about Place as they are about Time. Whether I photograph during the Day or at Night, it is almost always light that compels me to take out my camera.

Digital technologies have forever changed photography, and there are endless debates about traditional versus digital techniques, and which is better. Photoshop and inkjet printing certainly offer more precise control over the way a final image appears in print, but for now, I prefer the Process of working with film and gelatin silver paper in the traditional darkroom. After 20 years in the darkroom, I still get excited every time an image begins to appear in the developer tray. I do take advantage of digital printmaking to create Carbon Pigment Piezo prints in sizes larger than I can print in my own darkroom. I highly recommend Connecticut Photographics for both Black and white and color digital prints.
