Craft and Vision Magazine Interview
In September I did an interview on infrared photography with Cynthia Haynes, the editor of David duChemin’s Craft and Vision Magazine….I’m so honored.
“Infrared photography adores the austere ruggedness of western scenes,” says Sherri Mabe. “The West is my muse.” Never more at home than when she’s wandering the vast Colorado prairie that lies beyond her front door, Mabe creates dreamlike photographs using an infrared (IR) camera, which sees and records light that is beyond the visible spectrum. She finds that IR accentuates the silence found in the wide open spaces and the sacredness of the Great Plains she calls home. Where so many other photographers see colour filled mountain views, Mabe sees the invisible light of the prairies and deserts in monochrome and uses IR to accentuate the silence she finds in this series, called Eventide. The result? Ethereal, otherworldly photographs that feel timeless. “IR lets me create how I want the world to look, because the reality of this world is pretty harsh.” -Cynthia Haynes
