Analyse An International Photographer

Tomasz Cuncvir (Poland)

This was my first exhibition, "Nowa Ruda in a Matchbox". I built two matchbox pinhole cameras and captured the architectural essence of my hometown. Some black and white pictures were worked with watercolours by my friend artist Katarzyna Mateńska. (Exhibition - 12/07/2011, Public Library, Nowa Ruda, Poland)

So I'm not sure if the watercolour images are watercolours painted onto a photo to colour it in or copying from a pinhole photo and interpreting the grainy image with colour? Anyway I think it would be interesting to try and combine the two mediums for a project on Invercargill's architecture.

About Tomasz Cuncvir

I was born in 1988 in Wałbrzych, Poland. I have studied English Literature at University of Wrocław. In 2005 I moved to Perth, Australia and since 2013 I live in Germany. I am a bookworm, musician and photographer. I want to be a „Total Photographer” painstakingly making my way through the history of this art form: from pinhole, daguerrotype, wet plate collodion, large, medium and small format to (now) alternative printing processes like palladium, gum dichromate and albumin prints. I love the classical way, though: silver gelatin print. Photography is a two step meditation process to me: first step happens behind the camera, and then the journey continues in a darkroom.
