CUSTOM WEDDING ALBUM FOR T + K

TERESA KABIR 09 / 09 / 09 | Make Your Own Book

Wedding in DUMBO, Brooklyn. Photography and Album by Jennifer Liseo

GUMBY LOVE

This is a custom illustration that documents a special moment, when GUMBY enters the room during the wedding reception.

TRIPTYCH

Here are three custom screenprints that colorfully document a wedding day. They are all printed on Rives BFK gray paper and are 9x9 inches in size.

KEYWAY

This is a new solar plate etching and chine colle of a couple on their wedding day. It is inspired by a portrait I took digitally of them in the wine cellar bar area before making their reception debut. The picture was taken through the large gated door keyhole. The overall print is 14 x 9.5 and the etching itself is 4.5 x 3. I like the intimacy and the vintage quality of this print. It's something that you have to walk up to, and peer into to see what's going on. A small treasure of a moment.

BALANCE

This is another print that documents a specific occasion and moment(s) in time. In this case, it is a wedding celebration. It is an archival digital print on Hahnemuhle German Etching paper layered with two Solar Plate Etchings printed with bone black oil based ink. The color prints are photographs that were taken while driving over the bridge to St. Simon's Island in Georgia where the couple married. The Solar Plate Etching is inspired by photographic images of the couples first dance. The symbolism here is about the balance in a relationship : structure, support, and logic .vs. intuition, freedom and mystery.

Note: the two middle photographs are of the etched polymer plate.

SARIS, JEWELS AND HANDS

This is a portrait I took at a wedding as the professional photographer was setting up a posed family shot.  I printed this on Metallic paper to enhance the saturated colors and touches of gold.

DANCING

These photos are from a wedding that wove many cultures and rituals together beautifully... on the dance floor. Equipped with my new camera (at the time) I tried to capture the endless energy of the evening, filled with expressive movements.

GESTURES OF LOVE

This print is a customized wedding gift.  It is a two color water-based silkscreen printed on 100% cotton paper.  The print is approximately 28x28 in diameter.  The project entailed photographing everyone's hand at the wedding as I asked each person to make their own gesture of love.  All of the hands were individually edited in photoshop, with varying detail, to create the graphics.  The hands overlapping each other in a circle symbolize unity and life itself. 

The lace-like translucent gold that slightly overlays the inner wreath was inspired by images I've seen of a microscopic orchid root, and was hand painted on mylar to create a film for the screen. The orchid historically symbolizing strength, transformation, love and beauty. 

This is my favorite customized project to date, and I hope to continue experimenting with different custom hand projects.

SPARKS in the summer

The LOVE photograph was a miracle of sorts. I set the functions on my camera, handed it to Nancy and said stay as still as possible for this 8 second shutter speed while I write something. I believe the dark sky in Maine contributed to the beauty, plus our drunk happy spirits.

The photograph below was taken at my friend's anniversary party in their Brooklyn backyard. I leaned my camera on the deck rail to steady it for an approximate 1.3 second exposure. Editing done in Photoshop to enhance the light provided by sparklers. I enjoy the emotional tangibility and color saturation of this photo.
