The Gallery: Brad Carlile

We stumbled across photographer Brad Carlile's work while looking through the winners of the Hearst 8x10 Photography Biennial — an international competition to identify and promote new and emerging photographers. Brad's colorful hotel interiors intrigued us and we thought the Apartment Therapy community would enjoy them, too!

From Brad's site:
"I use multiple exposures in a unique way that will capture stationary objects in "true color" and moving objects in vivid colors. All images are created on-film and in-camera with no digital creation. Then they are developed normally and printed without digital manipulation."

Brad Carlile's winning photos can be seen in the Hearst 8x10 Photography Biennial, Heast Tower, Alexey Brodovitch Gallery and the Hearst Gallery, West 57th St, New York City, through September 2009.

God are these calming. Reminds me of punch-drunk love.

Are those bodily-fluid stains I see on the bedspreads?

Interesting and I thought this was definitely a digital manipulation for the lamp light is blue, light coming into the room is yellow, some bright red, purple etc and then in some photos, normal exposure.

This is cool that it was all done using film and not much else.

Oh snap.... that Suspiria remark is a complete injustice.... I love the weird netherworld "outskirts of Vegas" hyper ambience here.... It also reminds me of a visit to Bakersfield....in these places you'll find the most amazing and preserved (not intentionally, either) places out of mid-century America.

And the fact that it's in-camera on-film.... remarkable.

Very cool. I want to know more about how it's done, I want to make my own!
