Deborah Sheedy Portrait Photographer

Deborah Sheedy is an artist living and working in Dublin, Ireland. Deborah is a film student, a fact that shows in her atmospheric, black and white photography. Deborahs photos have a cinematographic touch, from the beautiful composition to the movement she knows to capture. The movement blurs out parts of the photo, leaving it up to the viewer to fill in the story. The monochrome color palette and gritty edge fit the aesthetics of these images perfectly, transforming them from photos into filmstills, making them part of a bigger story. Deborah s work is a contrast to the search for known perfection, she seeks her perfection within the almost impressionistic forms with the use of light as an element of weight to the textures she uses. Its blur reminds me of the beginnings of photography where not so developed optics were used which gave a soft and ethereal image.
