Melitte Buchman

Teaches at Penumbra Foundation

MELITTE BUCHMAN has been a professional photographer for over thirty years. Her work, though spanning numerous techniques over time, has at its core always been about issues of place and objects of power. She is interested in relationships between man-made systems and the natural environment. She wonders about the mystery, beauty and romance that we overlook daily. Her photographs are re-examinations of things and places common to us here and now. She dives deeper taking a closer look at what is present. Beneath the quotidian she see sees latent strangeness that lurks under the common. Her work was originally in film-based photography but has moved backwards in photographic technique to tintype, ambrotype, salt printing and other alternative processes. Over the past decade she has developed these pictorial techniques to discuss the romantic and emotional in our world.  Whether a super fund site or modern technology, these items when re-seen become more real.
