Mirage No.12 by Catherine F. Powers; PREORDER Archival Silver Gelatin Photography Print
The Mirage Photography Series™ created by Catherine F. Powers has a unique creative process. Using 35mm film with a completely manual Nikon camera Catherine exposes the same frame of film to multiple exposures to build the final artwork. No cropping or zooming is used as well.
This creative process requires each layer to be perfectly framed while also planning out how information will translate with the crisp blacks and whites with softer shades of gray from multiple images into the final artwork. This photography series is designed to provoke imagination, wonder and curiosity.
This archival prints are created on silver gelatin using traditional darkroom printing techniques.
Sizes: Variable upon request with custom printing and customization
The film negatives are scanned at 600dpi ultra-high resolution and can be printed into very large-scale photographic prints, artworks, photograph prints, or custom murals upon request. Specialty printing options can be created on metal, plexiglass, fabric, or other innovative substrates.

Photography Series
Q: Why shoot 35mm black and white film in a world where digital ease abounds?
Catherine explains the inception of this photographic series, “In today’s world of technology and ease shooting with traditional film offers a different creative discipline. Imagine quickly shooting twenty photos on your phone and easily deleting, cropping, and filtering images for instant rewards. Now imagine using a completely manual camera where you need to adjust the light meter, focus your subject fields, frame a composition without using a zoom lens or cropping. Further imagine each image you create will cost both money as well as an uncertain result until development. Next imagine translating your visual field into shades of gray before capturing the image, do you desire high contrasts of black and whites in the image, or possibly a narrow bandwidth of mid-tone grays, how will what you see translate onto film? There are so many different layers of design, deliberation, commitment, and care coming together into each frame of film being used. Nothing is quick, easy, or certain. Critical thinking with creativity blend with this series. Additionally, this collection avoids all filters or editing in post-production programs so each work is fully created within the camera. Every photograph is raw and real, perfectly imperfect, or possibly exquisitely magical. To embrace this process of creating is being open to more failure as well as uniquely cultivated successes.”
