Dysthemia by Melisa Sharpe
"Dysthemia" is part of an experiment in portraits painted with light-a technique that involves leaving the film's camera shutter open in a darkened room and selectively illuminating still subjects with flashlights. There's only me-the photographer-and the models, in a creative relationship. It's a bit of light therapy in which the couch is a stage for characters to emerge, raising questions as to whether the portraits are real or imaginary. Does some part of the model's essence shine though or is it all fantasy?
