Katherine Cummings is a fine art photographer. She graduated from the Art Institute of Boston in 2005. Her photographs are printed using a 19th-century alternative process. “Cheetah” is just one image from a larger portfolio, “Diorama.” Katherine resides in Seattle, WA. She continues to photograph natural history images and is currently working on a new body of photographs. “When I am in a museum, I act as a taxidermist. I am preserving the animals through photography. I use my camera to look into their eyes and give a small amount of life back to them. I use the POP (printing-out paper) process because it is a historical process and yields rich detail and subtle tone. It is a perfect match for my subject matter: old, yet timeless. In my final presentation, the square format and wooden frames reference early display cases.” (Seattle, WA)
