Juliet Lai from Los Angeles shares her haunting images of deserted buildings made in the Argyrotype process.
From: Los Angeles, USA.
Shows: Argyrotypes.
Juliet Lai is a fine art photographer/printmaker from Los Angeles who has focused her work on landscape, architectural, and street photography. For the past few years, her passion has slowly evolved into exploration of derelict locations, and in a moment of frozen time, she documents the remnants of its grandeur in their gradual decay. The application of a vintage process like Argyrotype can transform the image into a dark rich seductive print evoking an ethereal beauty honoring these now abandoned monuments of mankind’s ingenuity and presence. Her work has also carried over to solemn locations, i.e. Holocaust concentration camps, capturing the haunting residual atmosphere.
