Black Chair

Girls on a Black Chair Series Ted Meyer started shooting figurative photos after a double hip replacement, when he was physically unable to paint. Through the camera, he continues to obsession with the human body confined in a space. He taught himself traditional darkroom techniques, but now works exclusively digitally. Lighting is critical for the artist; he controls every aspect of the light and color, and prefers to work in a studio setting. Photography is always a collaboration with the model, who serves both as inspiration and formal material to pose, mold, and sculpt. In the Black Chair series models are instructed to interact with a large high back chair. Ted feels this mirrors his painting style that often depicts figures confined to a limited area.
