Kelly Merchant Photography
|
| Kelly is a female commercial and fine art photographer who works in both digital and large format film. She frequently shoots for Green Door and Chronogram magazine. She specializes in portraiture but also photographs food, still lives and landscapes. With her portraits she strives to bring out the natural, unforced beauty that every subject has.
Her fine art work is inspired by a long-neglected 19th century fad, known as the “The secret language of flowers.” Each photograph contains a secret message which is only revealed by a key to the flowers’ meaning. Shot on 4x5 and 8x10 negative film, a slower process than digital, she wanted the process of taking the images to be slow and intimate as if you were gathering and cutting flowers with the purpose of sending a message in mind.
