Jennifer Reynolds
We were instantly smitten with these dream-like, ethereal scenes that center around nature and existentialism! Dublin (Ireland) based Jennifer Reynolds is currently finishing her studies at Institute of Art Design+ Technology. Honing into light and technique, Reynolds delves into ideas of reality and naturalism. As you immerse yourself in her captivating portfolio, it's evident that her photographs are not mere images, but portals into a realm where the tangible and the intangible converge in breathtaking harmony.
Her work concerns existential questioning and is centered around the natural world, she exploring humans connection (or disconnection) with nature and hopes to bring to light the ways in which we are separating ourselves farther and farther from nature. She hopes through her work that she will help us recognize that we are a part of nature, we are in harmony with it and we are not separate from it. Nor should we try to be.
Considering her own existentialism in her work, she is heavily inspired by the theories of philosopher Alan Watts as well as phenomenology. This influences her approach to photography, using an overlaying technique to create new dimensions inside our own world which appear as dreamlike scenes that thin the veil with the spirit world. Using photography to play with interpretations of time, she works through an archive as well as creating new work, blending images from different time periods, questioning the effects that time really has and the ability that a camera has to pause scenes in time.
