Pretty in Pink

Leave it to London to expel such a unique individual that bring a new, errr old, twist to photography. Native UK photographer Ellen Rogers is the genius behind these spell binding works of art. Rogers who is deeply intrigued by supernatural, the occult, religion,and unsolved mysteries pushes that fixation through her work whether she means to or not. Using only analogue cameras, she creates magic and mystification through dark room processes. The only technology involved is the end when she scans the finished piece, a self proclaimed purist.  

I saw these pictures and became completely mystified be the intense emotion portrayed through such a soft and rather haunting display. They all seems to tell a story behind their eyes, as if they are a dream or a memory. This all makes sense, considering a lot of her creative process starts with dreams, both sleeping and wake. Working boxed up in her darkroom, Rogers takes her vision to an experimental level that develops such amazing works of art. 

If this is what trial and error can truly achieve, I hope for a lot more mistakes to come! For more on her work, read interviews, see amazing video of a 8mm project she is working on visit her site http://www.ellenrogers.co.uk/
