ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the work and ideas of a highly diverse group of artists and offers an introduction to how they came to photography and developed their methodologies. It also discusses the aesthetics have evolved and how they have been able to zero in on what is important to them. The artists’ relationship with the photographic medium and its materiality is a vehicle that assists in expressing their ideas. However, every artist interview presented here represents only a small sample of each artist’s work and journey. Making artwork by any method brings us face-to-face with opportunities, challenges, frustration and potential failures. Remember, the growth gained from the attempt will always outweigh the loss of not trying in the first place. Feel confident in the intentional or unintentional method used to express the idea and follow where the artwork takes you. It is yours to explore and do with as you see fit.
