SALLY  AUMAN

Sally was influenced by her father who was a photographer and as a young girl learned the basics of photography using a variety of cameras including medium format cameras, polaroid cameras, instant cameras and single-lens reflex cameras. She also studied film photography right after high school at the local junior college and decades later studied digital photography at university.

 

Her love for making photographic images compelled her to stick with it and to eventually merge it with other mediums including cyanotype, encaustic, and printing on Japanese papers. Prior to the closing of Polaroid, she created Polaroid transfers and emulsion lifts using digital prints and Daylab equipmentSally loves photographing nature, abandoned and dilapidated building in backroads, and travel, as well as exploring various in-camera and photo editing techniques to add mystery and humor to her images.

 

Sally enjoyed passing on her love for photography by sponsoring photography clubs for middle school students. A believer in lifelong learning, she continues her creative stretching by taking photography and studio art workshops, and  art history  and writing courses.
