Selected photographic artworks from several projects by Christy Lee Rogers, a self-taught photographer from Kailua, Hawaii. The artistic photographs reflect her passion for water as a medium for breaking the conventions of contemporary photography. The images are a surreal ensemble of colors, shapes, light and writhing human bodies. Shot in Hawaii, during the night in local pools, Rogers’ works once again push the boundaries of what is possible with a photograph, while creating all of her effects in camera, on the spot. The collection will be released on November 2nd at Galeria de Arte AFK in Lisbon, Portugal, The Miller Gallery in Cincinnati, Ohio shortly after that, and many other shows and art fairs for Rogers are confirmed in Paris, Angers, Brussels and London. Christy Lee Rogers is a fine art photographer from Kailua, Hawaii. Her obsession with water as a medium for breaking the conventions of contemporary photography has led to her work being compared to Baroque painting masters like Caravaggio. Boisterous in color and complexity, Rogers applies her cunning technique to a barrage of bodies submerged in water during the night, and creates her effects naturally in-camera using the refraction of light. Through a fragile process of experimentation, she builds elaborate scenes of coalesced colors and entangled bodies that exalt the human character as one of vigor and warmth, while also capturing the beauty and vulnerability of the tragic experience that is the human condition.
