Brenton Hamilton's Cyanotypes on View
VoxPhotographs gallery in Portland, Maine hosts a one-person show of work by Brenton Hamilton, Chair of Maine Media College’s Professional Certificate Program in Photography, during the month of October.
Brenton is a master of the Cyanotype – one of the very earliest processes used to make photographs – and this show is comprised of ten works. His imagery draws from his fascination with astronomy, anatomy, botanicals, and mythology. The hues of Maine’s ocean and night sky also play a role in his work, as does Maine’s unique light.
For an appointment to see the images at VoxPhotographs (Chestnut St. Lofts, Portland, ME) please call 207-323-1214 or email info@voxphotographs.com. The work is available for viewing October 1 – 31.
