ARTIST BIO:
Jim Tetlow is a photographer based in La Jolla, California with a wide range of photographic interests including historic architecture, landscapes, people on the street, and abstract images. In my “day job”, I have been working as a lighting designer and consultant for television, theatre, and architecture since 1975.
“Much of my work is in black and white, or in the case of cyanotypes, blue and white. I think that I'm drawn to monochromatic images because in my career as a lighting designer, I use color as an intrinsic element of the design every day. By stripping away the color in my photographs, the composition is based on forms, light, and shadows.”
“The majority of my work is printed in alternative processes, most of which originated in the 19th century including Platinum, Palladium, and Cyanotype prints. I'm also quite partial to the Ziatype process which was invented in the late 20th century and uses Lithium Palladium Chloride as the metal in the process.”
