I have never met anyone who talks as much as Kerry does. I have also never met anyone who has as many interesting this to say. Kerry is in her late thirty’s but with the amount she has lived in those years she could be a cat in it’s last life.
Her career in photography didn’t start until after college and before then she had jumped around from school to school and state to state with her mother and sister who is 9 months older than she is. Once she moved to California and finished high school she wanted to be an architect and go to school at UC Berkley. She loved going to school there and told me that if she were given to opportunity to redo college she would go straight back to Berkley.
When she started taking pictures she was into shooting architecture and from there made a name for herself. She started making money when she was hired as a color coordinator for the World Golf Tour video game. When she went in for her interview for the position they asked her if she had every worked in the Adobe program Lightroom. Not having even heard of it she said absolutely yes and was hired as the supervisor of the department. She went home and read the Lightroom manual cover to cover and was very successful from beginning to end of her time there.
When she got breast cancer she used it to her artistic advantage and took self-portraits through the entire process. That work “Aftermath” has become very famous especially internationally in Spain and Germany.
One of her most fantastic collections of work is her “Expired collection”. Over the past few years she has dedicated herself to photographing expired, old, and tattered library books. Of the kind that are so old their pages have yellowed and the fibers from the paper and cloth covers are straying. The $40,000 Hasselblad camera she is using to shoot this images can pick up the fibers coming off of the fibers and that is what makes these images so incredible.
Now, she is working to finish her commercial photography portfolio and that is most of what she was working on while I was interning with her. She is creating a new page on her website with all of her still life commercial and architecture work and will be entering soon into competitions and reviews as she has with all of her other work.
