Andrew Curley

Images are created using 35mm (3/4 ratio) and 120mm (6x6) negative film. Cameras used were Rolleiflex, Hasselblad SWC, Xpan, and Contax 3A (1950s era rangefinder). I use Kodak Ektar, Ilford 3200, Ferrania, and other boutique film depending on desired look. Sometimes I want grain and contrast. It�s an aesthetic from the 1960s/early 70s that digital cameras, software, and phones avoid. I pay for high resolution scans at Tempe Camera, scanners for professional printing. I work with the lab to select the best paper/size for scanned images, from glossy to matte, 20x20 to 30x30 (especially for square format negatives).

I work with a local framer in Tucson to select frame/matting that enhances image. All products use archival ink and museum quality glass.
