J. Jason Lazarus is an Alaska-based photographer and educator that creates handmade and narrative-driven photographic work utilizing a wide range of alternative and historical photographic processes. Lazarus has served as a photographic educator at the University of Alaska Fairbanks since 2005, teaching and developing a wide range of courses in digital, alternative and traditional darkroom photography. His alternative process work ranges from abstract Chemigram prints that discuss the complex historical legacy left behind by World War II to darkroom-printed Mordançage images that show a fragile Western American landscape decaying under the pressures of resource development, economic failures and climate change. Lazarus also spends the lengthy, dimly-lit winter months in Alaska creating unique portraits of its fragile tundra, as seen in his series entitled “Resilient”.

Chris McCaw has been getting his hands wet in the darkroom from the age of 13, and since then he has been unable to separate his personal life from his photographic life.

The early years involved self taught explorations in skateboarding/ zine /punk scenes with a fisheye lens and Tri-X through the mid-late 80’s. After high school he learned everything he could about photography. He fell in love with the simplicity of large format cameras, and in 1992 got his first 4”x5”. The following year he fell for platinum/palladium printing and larger cameras. After reworking the boundaries of analogue photographic mediums with his Sunburn project, Chris continues to rethink traditional use of photographic materials. He is currently building his own cameras, manipulating the mechanics of how cameras record time.
