Scott B. Davis

Scott B. Davis's recent work pushes landscape photography and the platinum/palladium process in very intriguing ways. He carefully and meticulously creates panoramic diptychs in camera, making pairs of paper negatives and film-based platinum/palladium prints.

Scott has a unique talent in exploiting the view camera's property of displaying the world upside down and backwards; instead of re-inverting the image shown on the ground glass, he composes the image as if it's already oriented correctly, and then further expands the composition by exactly matching horizon lines to create a new panorama. In these images, details aren't important—light and shadow are. The images aren't so much about the land or landscape as they are about space and abstraction.

Scott has a book coming out soon by Radius Books. You can purchase a copy here.
