I find our ceaseless desire to transform our environment to be a fascinating endeavor. This collective work of mankind is often fierce, sometimes delicate or caring, but rarely inert.
I explore the visual language of place, the way we control our surroundings, and what that says about our time. I peel through the questions raised by the work of humanity, attempting to explore the layers of change, to understand myself and others.
I pour through these questions, and the tangents they spur, while creating visual records of our human endeavor and how it reflects our hopes, challenges, and fears.
Kier Selinsky (b. 1976, Ohio) has been making photographs since he was hooked by the magic of the darkroom as a teenager in rural Ohio. While he pursued a career in technology, his passion for photography has always consumed an inordinate amount of his mental capabilities.
Historically, Kier has worked in film, digital, and alternative formats. He is the Founding Editor of ƒ/D, a site devoted to pinhole photography, and edited The ƒ/D Book of Pinhole.
