CAITLYN THOMPSON
I am an independent artist specializing in bookbinding and image editing.
My job as a bookbinder involves a commitment to creating unique products that maintain a superior level of sentimentality over the mass-produced digital competition. The more tactile an experience, the more emotion can be evoked. Hand-written words, paper texture, the anticipation of turning a page, all have an allure that scrolling and clicking do not. There is an elegance in my products that stems from my clients’ desires for something that can be theirs alone. Chic and timeless, handmade books become unique, treasured objects upon contact.
My photographic work mainly focuses on portraiture, photo restoration, and personal (book and box) product stills. My specialty lies in constructing candid photographs that feature a single model multiple times to highlight the multitudes of personas that exist within us all. Images are shot with a Canon Rebel XT and edited using Adobe Photoshop.
I welcome all challenges and look forward to helping you actualize a project of your dreams.
