Jill Enfield

"What interests me is that you can meld techniques together from the 19^th century up to the 21^st century in a seamless manner in order to make a statement. All stops have been removed in order to use everything available today as a tool to be used in any way, shape or form. There are no boundaries, and photography has become a mixed media art form."

A fine art and editorial photographer, Jill has taught handcoloring and non-silver techniques at schools in New York City and throughout the USA and Europe. Jill uses historical techniques to enhance the textural and painterly effects in combination with all photographic elements to create artistic, often ethereal imagery.

Her work is in the collections of RJ Reynolds Co., Southeast Banking Corp., Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellãn in Colombia, The Boca Raton Museum of Art and Hotel Parisi in La Jolla. Jill's book "Photo Imaging" won the Golden Light Award for best Technical Book of 2002. She is now working on a book of portraits using the wet collodion glass plate negative technique.
