Ah Ha! | Andy Wainwright Hasselblad + EPR Ektachrome transparency, Late 1980s

Artists must have a relentless creative fever," says Andy Wainwright, "always shooting ideas even without a specific assignment." This portrait of his daughter Lauren at age eight was taken during "a spell of fever," testing generating color backgrounds, leading him to start with dark gray and use "theatrically-gelled lights to bring saturated colors up into the range of the transparency film." Based in Tivoli for 25 years, Wainwright lists Merrill Lynch, Garnet Hill, and many architects and artists, including James Warhola and Carrie Haddad, as clients.
