Art School is proud to present the Photography Lecture Series, a monthly program inviting the public to engage with emerging photographic artists who generously share their work in an intimate setting.
Carly Cram (She Her) is a photographer based in San Francisco. She studied art in Southern California before moving to the Bay Area to attend the San Francisco Art Institute.
Before discovering her love of photography, her area of focus was ceramics, which continues to inform her process and contributes to her unique photographic style.
This method, a form of compositing, involves capturing 20-50 images taken in a grid-like format and seamlessly assembling them like a puzzle. While Cram photographs with a digital camera, her photographic process is in many ways similar to the process of large format photography and often requires an intimate collaboration with each subject in order to hold their pose. This photographic style results in vibrant color, hyper-realistic detail, and a nostalgic glow.
Cram's work seeks to explore memory and the many fragments we reassemble to tell our stories. And, much like memory, when examined closely you can locate the imperfections of the assembling process.
