J.N.Kosidowski Photography
::Artist Biography::
Minnesota born and breed, in the midst of a very typical suburban lifestyle. Currently the single mom of one very humorous smart little boy. I fell in love with photography early in life. I was always the one with a camera in hand no matter where I was, I suppose I still own that title! I'm a stronger believer in preserving memories. The things I cherish most are the many books of photos I have from my life.
As a photography student in college, I’ve found myself dipping into a variety of types of photography, but, just as I assumed, I always make my way back to the routes of my passion that drew me to this art form.
Simply put... I love faces. I love bodies. I love hands. I love humans. I adore the way lights light skin and the way shadows curve curves. I am a traditionalist of sorts, at least up until this point in time. From here it’s only going to get a little more sideways of the straight an narrow of traditional portraiture.
I’ve expanded my horizons as far as the kind of photography I find enjoyable. It seems these years of college and being forced into other forms has paid off to an extent. I am falling in love with macro/abstract photography. I love mystery. And that love transfers into my more fine art photography... I love shooting things that are old and beaten and ugly. Things that are forgotten and don’t make complete sense. Things that creep you out just a little, but force you to look deeper. I’m also finding I’m warming up to nature and landscapes, something I never predicted... I always found it so bland.
I stumbled across a completely new form that I will be doing much more work with as time goes along. I’ve found myself in Cameraless Photography. I love that it’s not exactly photography but is every bit the creative process plus much more to create these images. Cameraless does something cameras cannot do... it’s a deep frustrating challenge, but when it pays off... it pays off big.
