JONETSU DREAMSCAPES

Those of you who have visited the studio have know about our Jonetsu Dreamscapes for a long time.  Since we’ve finally updated the website , showcasing what we’ve been up to, we’ve received lots of inquiries about these art pieces.

What’s a JONETSU DREAMSCAPE?

I (Camille, that’s me) have been working in photography-based artwork since high school (ahem, a while now, it’s true).  Photography, paint, barbed wire, you name it  (some old high school friends reading this- you know how you’ve been my guinee pigs- Jen, Hanah!).  Picked up some pretty cool scholarships for all my craziness.

For years, I didn’t practice my multi-media art (aside from straight up photographic activities- darkroom blah blah, then switching to shooting digital, oh boy).

It’s taken me a while to learn & love digital photography and Photoshop.  Plenty of hard work.  Now I can be creative:  I can produce almost anything that’s in my mind’s eye.  I’ve busted my butt to aquire the tools and now I’m free to express myself again.  Dreamscapes are my interpretation of a session, a scene, a feeling, whatever.  I choose the images, I work it up, layer it according to my personal sense of balance, drink some wine and chat with Chadwick about it and I put a lot of love into them.  They are ethereal, dreamy and you just may not like them.  It took me months to share them with anyone, I was nervous they wouldn’t be appreciated, but I made them for myself, afterall.

Turns out, some folks actually love them.  Lots. 

Any session can become a Jonetsu original Dreamscape.

They are printed and stretched on canvas (they are BIG) and I embellish them with authentic gold or silver leafing.  You need to see them in person to feel them.  I think of them as a bit of a “sexy mess”. They take a long time to make, like the albums I design.  So if you want one, please find your zen mode.

I just finished a small one from images I shot in Japan this March.  It’s called Graduation Day:
