Shannon Chester Photography

I want to bring the audience into my internal reality as a witness to the scenes behind my eyes.

My vision is always changing. I like to combine softness and fragility with the harsh realism of life. Preferring to photograph using 4x5 black and white fim I have also expanded into using mixed and digital mediums. However, I do consider myself a puristand as such, refer to my work by the means in which they were created.For example,  I do not consider images I have shot and digitally altered as photographs, but as what they truly are, digital montages or computer art.

These galleries represent samples of some of my (film) photography, mixed media, and commissioned pieces.
