Digital cyanotype prints

My name is Jim Hall. I'm in the final stage of  a Post Baccalaureate Certificate in Visual Arts which I enrolled in subsequent to my retirement a number of years ago. My main photographic interests are street photography and landscape photography. 

The cyanotype prints I made for this exhibition are taken from digital images I shot during a month long trip to Nepal in 2023. The majority of the prints depict rural life I encountered during a 2 week camping trek with 6 other Canadians, supported by a group of guides, porters and cooks. We were very fortunate in being able to speak with some villagers, with the guides interpreting for us, in villages close to some of the camping areas along the route we took. The villagers were very open and friendly. Some came to our campsites and brought handmade jewellry for sale. 

Another image that has stuck with me is of the water buffalo that we encountered along the route in open pastures. They appeared to be very calm but watchful, as their eyes followed us as we walked by in close proximity.

Above and below are photos of my prints in the exhibition.
