LORIE SLATER PHOTOGRAPHY

 

I am a largely self taught photographer who has spent the last decade or two documenting the changing city of Toronto. After working most of my life in the music industry I chose to move in another direction and follow my passion for photography. You can find my work at The Blue Crow Gallery on Gerrard and The Arts Market in Riverside, as well the many juried shows I do throughout the year.

LIMITED

Each of my photographs are limited editions of 25. I either mount them on wood panels and cover them in resin or encase them in acrylic. All are numbered and signed and kept track of in a registry.

SIZING

Because I makes 25 of each photo... they can be customized to any size you like, within the constraints of the photo. If you see something at a show, but would like it smaller or larger... it likely isn't a problem, as I make most of my pieces to order... all it requires is some patience and a nominal deposit.

 

WOOD + RESIN

I personally mount the photos onto wood panels and pour the resin... something I learned by watching YouTube videos... it took me about a year to really get the hang of it... but now I pour resin almost everyday. I put between 2 - 4 coats of resin on each piece... with all the coats and drying time it takes at least a week to make one piece... the resin totally cures in about 72 hours after the last coat... then it is sanded, stamped and signed.

 

ACRYLIC

I also offer acrylic prints... they are clean and borderless with a vibrant glass like surface. This gives you a similar look to the resin, but it is machine made. I often use this if I do an install in an office or if the client wants a real modern look.

 

FRAMING

Lastly, there is regular old framing... when framing I like to either use a simple black or white frame... or if the piece is right... I have some vintage or eclectic frames looking for the right home.
