Dorothy is a self-taught fine art photographer who began working with film in 1972 and started printing using traditional darkroom techniques in the early 2000s. As a child in 1965 at the age of 9, her father loaned her his Kodak Brownie camera to use on a three month trip by cargo ship to Sweden. Although photography was not pursued until later in life, it was deeply embedded in her at an early age. Today she works in alternative processes, silver gelatin printing and digital imagery, printing her own (analog) work in the darkroom or employing a professional lab printing service for digital. The cameras she uses are not limited to any one in particular, but favoring medium and large format black and white film.
