Brad Carlile




Brad Carlile is a photographer a lot of people have been referring to lately. I've looked at his work before, but this weekend I walked by Hearst Tower, which is heavily advertising the competitors in the Hearst 8x10 Photography Biennial. Carlile's work definitely stands out among others. His use of mixed light as a subject is phenomenal. It's really interesting to me that he photographs such mundane spaces like living rooms and hotel rooms. Carlile's work is not so much about the physical subject, but rather using the colors of light to create a beautiful image. His work is really fascinating, almost unreal, and he is the first to ensure that his viewers are aware of the lack of digital manipulation in these images.
