This work in a history of my work in the last 7 years
Picard’s work, called “Sweeps” are photographs that records time and movement captured by the moving camera during exposure. This sweeping effect, is like a painter’s brush moving across a canvas resulting in captured memories. Parts of the image are clear and sharp while others break up, fade, or disappear. His earlier photos (01, 02) are shapes that are place on paper incorporating the negative space. Later work (03, 04) are cut out shapes dictated by the camera. The room provide the negative space. The image is free.

The only manipulation to the photograph before printing is sharpening, minor cropping and exposure adjustments as with any photograph in a traditional wet darkroom process.
