On Tuesday, June 25 at 11.30 a.m. Joseph Gallivan interviews photographer Jason Hill about his show Favorite Things, which is on now at Pushdot Studio through July.
Hill talks about taking portraits of Black friends and community members, designing “in camera” without relying on Photoshop, and placing prisms and crystals in front of the 85mm lens to create effects.
From the press release: https://pushdotstudio.com/gallery/
Favorite Things is a photo series of people with items that are precious to them. The process involved Jason not knowing what they were going to bring with them and the results are an experiment with light and color to create magical portraits.
Jason Hill is a photographer and filmmaker currently living in Portland, Oregon. He started working with a camera during his adolescence and is largely self-trained. His practice today is focused on portraiture with an emphasis on the mechanics of light, vibrant color, emotion, and natural beauty. His work has been featured in the Portland Art Museum with his “In My Skin’’ and “A Day in Eugene” series in 2022. And was also recently featured in The Black Artists of Oregon at the Portland Art Museum.
