Loren Nelson
USA Nominee Abstract Professional "Astoria Boatyard Abstract II" Original iPhone 8+ image of rusty boat hull under repair, processed in Photoshop, and printed on Moab Juniper Fine-Art paper using archival pigment inks. In 1972, Loren Nelson picked up a Deardorff 4X5 view camera and began photographing the Pacific Northwest. For over 40 years he has photographed with film and used a traditional darkroom to produce selenium-toned silver gelatin prints. But recently, he has also included a digital workflow, using a digital camera and an iPhone to respond more spontaneously to his surroundings. He prints his images on fine-art papers, using archival pigment inks, along with his darkroom work. Ongoing bodies of work include landscapes, seascapes, and botanicals. Loren Nelson’s photographs are in numerous public and private collections, including the Portland Art Museum; the Hallie Ford Museum of Art; Salem, Oregon; and the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts; Tampa, FL. He is represented by the Portland Art Museum/Rental Sales Gallery in Portland, OR and LightBox Photographic Gallery in Astoria, OR. His work has been published in View Camera, LensWork, B&W, Shots, and Analog Forever magazines. |
