Chris Meyer of Crish Design has been involved in both the music industry as a musician, sound designer, recording engineer, and designer of electronic instruments and recording devices; as well as the motion graphics industry where he and his wife Trish create animations for broadcast, film, special venues, trade shows, and web sites. However, before both, he had an interest in photography - an interest he continues to nurture today through the use of photographs as the starting point in mixed media art, often employing experimental printing techniques.

The Object

One of most recent works was the cause of serious soul-searching over the nature of my art.

image

Ever have one of those pieces that you put in a drawer for a couple of years, pulling it out periodically only to shove it back in because your head wasn’t in the right space yet to deal with it? That’s the underlying story behind this piece, The Object. In this case, it wasn’t just the image I was having trouble with - it was also the text I decided to attach to the image to give it a story. But sometimes, you just have to challenge yourself.

In this article, I want to share both the technical details of how this piece came together, as well as my internal conversation over the nature of abstract art and how it relates to photography.

I’m currently doing some social media consulting for a great company you may have seen me cover in the past, FloLight.  To familiarize me with their products, they were good enough to send me their MicroBeam 128, camera top, LED light.  This is a great little light that is the perfect solution for HDSLR “Run & Gun” setups.

Somebody out there actually cares as much about your portrait images as you do. The right relationship for image retouch and enhancement out of your studio can make your life faster, easier and cheaper while maintaining consistent quality.

This article begins a series of conversations with Neale Narang, head of business initiatives for ReadyRetouch.com. I really didn’t believe that anybody could or would be able to handle my images as well as I can. In the far distant past (2 ¼ and 4x5 film!) I did for a time outsource serious negative retouching - incidentally to a lady who did significant work for Penthouse and Playboy magazines. But I personally did all the print work with liquid dyes, flexichromes, lampblack and oils.
