Flower Photographs Charles Desormiers

In the days of analog film cameras, shooting with film was seriously expensive. Developing film in a darkroom, was also expensive, and at times, tremendously difficult. In spite of the labor and expense, film that developed into a beautiful image, made it all worth while. I never did learn to fully appreciate the experience of working in the darkroom, but I envied those who mastered it, and were able to create those breathtaking images.



Digital darkroom editing has removed the headache and expense associated with the traditional darkroom. Never content with a digital image straight out of the camera, the digital darkroom is my avocation, and my modus operandi, for transforming harsh digital images into something that closely resembles film.



Flower Photographs is a collection of digitally captured images, that I have reimagined with a look and character of analog film.
