About the series.
The sea consumes thee
All photographs are taken using long exposure to create a painterly look and feel.
Loss of a loved one can debilitate us individually on a psychological level, potentially creating a loss of reality. I created these ethereal minimalist chimera-esque landscapes to represent the last remembrances of the world before we depart into the unknown.
About the artist.
Jen Mitsuko has been living in the Pacific Northwest (Portland, OR) for five years. In that time she has been working on defining what being an artist means to her. She moved from Las Vegas, NV after obtaining her BFA in Fine Art Photography, and a BA in Film.
Her background is using a darkroom for hours at a time, and using various cameras from 35mm to 4×5 cameras. She currently uses her TLR and 4×5 but she mostly uses her DLSR for her current work.
Some of her work looks like a photograph while others have a painterly look and feeling. Jen believes that art is the soul of society, and strives to create art every time she picks up a camera.
Recently she received Honorable mention from International Photography Awards 2012, an Honorable mention from The Worldwide Photography Gala Awards, and officially selected in PX3 Prix De La Photographi Paris. She was recently published in F-Stop magazine “Landscape” issue and PHOTO+ a Korean photographic arts magazine. She is also published in Photographers Forum “Best of Photography 2010” where she was award a certificate of Excellence is Photography by Photographer Forum.
