An Ode To The Camera by Beth Douglas

 

As early as the 13th century, theological writings have speculated that the Devils magic is used to imitate and insinuate himself, even after the ancient Greeks had been drawing through a lens of visual manipulations for centuries before. The camera has been devilish, tricky and specialised since it’s very humble beginnings and we’d like to give a nod to our divisive, intricate friends. This collection pays homage to the powerful format of photography, from early Italian Camera Obscura to the latest in lense curviture, this collection highlights the best works of art on the faithful camera, and the methods and mechanisms we turn to see ourselves, and the rest of the world, through the lens.
