Elliott McDowell

Photographs/Composites

Afterimage Gallery has had two shows of Elliott McDowell's wonderful and clever work. He has long been one of Santa Fe, New Mexico's most entertaining photographers, known for his finely crafted images that abound with wonders, insights and riddles. In the 1970s McDowell was an expert at traditional photography techniques, acclaimed for his impeccably printed photographs of quirky and playful subjects. A collection of these classic black and white works appeared in the book Photographs: Elliott McDowell, (1981). Over the years McDowell's silver prints evolved into a unique newer body of colored photographs that resemble miniature stage sets of dreams and fairy tales. McDowell constructs these magical works from his large collection of color slides and digital imagery. A selection of these images can be found in his book Mystical Dreamscapes, (2009). These pages represent over 40 years of McDowell's imagery, both classic black and white and color photography as well as his more contemporary digital composite pieces. McDowell was born in 1948 and is a graduate of Southern Methodist Univeristy in Dallas. All prints are ink pigment on rag paper, handsomely printed and moderately priced. Matting and shipping are extra. Sizes below refer to image area.
