Q&A Series: Photo-blogging
Tamar Levine
Chris Berntsen gets away from his element.
I’ve always been of the opinion that sometimes you need to get out of your own way to take better photographs. In my own opinion, this is a big problem when you graduate from a photography program. It is possible that the process of analyzing images and putting them into a carefully critiqued historical contextContinue reading “Chris Berntsen gets away from his element.”

Self-portrait
THE WORD ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA… A SELF-PORTRAIT IS A REPRESENTATION OF AN ARTIST, DRAWN, PAINTED, OR SCULPTED BY THE ARTIST.
