Nacho Carbonell

“I like to see objects as living organisms, imagining them coming alive and being able to surprise you with their behaviour. I want to create objects with my hands, then I can give them my personality. I turn them into communicative objects that can arouse one’s sensations and imagination. In short, what I want to create are objects with a fictional or fantasy element, that allow you to escape everyday life.” -Nacho Carbonell-

These multi-layered photographs, are something simple yet magical materializing in the dark room – a focus on the process rather than the perfected finished product. Hailing from LA, Brandt manipulates each color photograph, soaking the developed image into liquids uniquely related to individual places or people such as lakes and reservoirs or human sweat and blood.

This technique gives Brandt’s images a gorgeous blend of color and light that softly bleed across the confined parameters of the photographs’ edges. They embrace the ideas of deterioration, fragility, and chance leaving us appreciating what film can capture and what digital photography cannot.
