I don’t know about you, but I find these images incredibly calming. What are they – I hear you ask? They are Transcriptions, silly – a conceptual evaluation of landscape representations by american photographer Kyra Schmidt. By focusing on light, time, chemical and digital interactions, Kyra explores essential components of photography in order to reveal new ways of experiencing the visual, spatial, material, and temporal aspects of the environment.

To achieve this, she engages with each environment by using sun, rain, and other natural elements to produce views that are outside of our perception, only made visual through camera-less photographic recording processes. Her prints are then superimposed with images of the landscapes within which they were created, as a way to ground each piece within its origin. The digital “installations” of analogue processes serves as a way to explore how technology aids us in our navigation of the everyday and affects our physical and psychological perception of the world around us.

Kyra Schmidt is a photographer from Indiana, currently living in Bozeman, Montana. She completed her Bachelor of Science in Photography at the University of Southern Indiana and is currently working on her Master of Fine Arts at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
