CHICAGOLAND

©2011 Kelly Fitzgerald

I am very excited to announce that I have a new body of work called Chicagoland - Black & White Cityscapes of Chicago.  I recently discovered this series while working on The Archive Project.  This is my first body of work featuring cityscapes.  Chicagoland is not featured on my website just yet, as I am still editing the project.  I have over a dozen photographic images so far, so please stay tuned. 

This work was created by using an old manual SLR film camera, Ilford Delta 100 Professional Black-and-White Film and Agfa APX-100 Agfapan Professional Black-and-White Film.  Sadly, the Agfa APX-100 Agfapan film is no longer being manufactured.  The traditional negative is scanned on a drum scanner to create a 300 megabyte digital file which serves as a vehicle for the tonal balancing, lighting, and darkening that was formerly done in the darkroom.  Once the aesthetic interpretation is realized in the computer and matched with the artist proof print created in the traditional "wet" darkroom, the image is then printed as a limited edition archival pigment ink print.   

If you are interested in purchasing an original fine art print, please contact Kelly Fitzgerald at info@kellyfitzgeraldphoto.com or call (760) 670-6616.  A range of print sizes are available.  For more information, please visit the print information page on her website.
