Annenberg Photo: Digital Darkroom
The "Digital Darkroom" episode of "Artbound" is based on 2011 Annenberg Space for Photography group show of the same name, explores how technology impacts the works photographers create. How far can artists push the limits of their tools in the process of creating images? When it comes to photographers like Jerry Uelsmann, Brooke Shaden and others, it seems as though anything is possible.
This documentary features several artists who participated in the Annenberg show, as well as curator Russell Brown, Senior Creative Director at Adobe. In this half-hour collection of interviews, the artists and Brown discuss how digital technology has assisted photographers in crafting images. At the same time, the photographers discuss how their work goes beyond Photoshop and scanners. "It is the talent behind the tool that really makes it sing," says Brown.
