Formally trained as a mathematician, Daniel Krasner has been working on human interaction with technology since 2011. How we perceive and ultimately shape the world around us through language, writing, science, art and related technologies has been a continual focus in his work. Photography has played a central role in the development of his thinking. Beginning with medium format gelatin silver film in 2010, the process has progressed toward an ever slower and meticulous approach to making images – ultra large format cameras, alternative processes, handmade negatives and print emulsions, with a focus on both quality and archival stability. The desire to make photographs that will stand the test of time has brought Daniel to the carbon transfer process, arguably the most archival and tonally rich type of prints made to date. Between the original exposure and the impression that is conjured in the mind lie the weeks and sometimes months required to turn these truly handmade images into the final artifact you see.
