Laurent Lafolie "Alma"
Soho Photo Gallery
This event has ended.
Laurent Lafolie's show, entitled Alma, consists of close-up pictures of faces. This series uses palladium printing, a difficult 19th century process that yields photographs of extraordinary subtle tonal gradations unavailable through most other techniques. Lafolie's images are made with an 8x10 inch large format camera and then contact printed for a result that is both exceptionally beautiful and thoroughly revealing of the personalities of these individuals. Lafolie says his work explores the relation "between the image one has of oneself, the image one hopes to project, and the image that is perceived by others and reflected back."
