Thomas Hager

I love Hager's series Catharsis due to the motion or the subjects and the mood of the images. I find I connect to the concept of this work, through seeing how the subjects are struggling with outside forces effecting them. This is like my series in which it deals with how one thing can create a completely different world for the subject, wether it is bad or good.

Quotes:


"The process enhances the dimensional quality of the image due to the chemicals’ ability to get into the fibers of the paper rather than staying on top of the paper as with traditional photographic paper. This creates a soft, tactile surface which is congruous with nature. " - Thomas Hager


"My investigation of this vintage process has not only increased my life long exploration of the medium of photography but has helped make a profound statement for my subject matter. " - Thomas Hager
