jamie marcellus

Jamie Marcellus is a Toronto based photographer.  With no formal art training, he first picked up a camera in 2019.  He utilizes a combination of modern and historic photographic techniques including wet plate collodion, experimental film techniques, and darkroom printing to achieve spatial forms that become distorted because of light, dust, silver (and a touch of magic).  Primarily working in long/multi exposure portraiture, including self-portraiture, his work explores the intersection between reality and dreams.  He incorporates pictorialism and chiaroscuro sensibilities to create visual interest and expressive mood.  He invites the viewer to examine the emotion of connection to form while reflecting inwardly.
