Diana Bloomfield in an Exhibiting Photographer Specializes in
19th Century Photographic Processes

My Friend Diana is just amazing!  She uses beautiful historic printing techniques, creates amazing handmade books, and has the best sense of humor.  I took a Tri-Gum Printing Class with her this last year, and boy is she a master!  I am especially drawn to her florals.

"For me, photographs are all about the past.  Even when I photograph to make a statement about the present, or to comment on the future, the image itself-- the one I've just made simply by opening and closing a shutter-- is cemented in the past.  When I look at photographs, no matter whose photographs they are, or when they were made, they inevitably conjure all sorts of memories.  When I look at old photographs of my family, or even of myself, I am staring at tangible memories, often barely recognizing those people in the pictures looking back at me.  And late at night, when I replay events that occurred earlier in my day, those events or conversations appear in my mind as a series of visual narratives, not all that clear or well-defined, and very much like half-remembered dreams." - Diana Bloomfield

To see her beautiful work, read about her accomplishments, and take a workshop visit her website.  Her Bio is quite lengthy with accomplishments and she has some very exciting things going on for 2024!
