Autorenporträt

Don Nelson's work focuses on the historic landscape in contemporary times, most often buildings disused or repurposed. Nelson has been a practitioner of alternative processes since 1983 using carbon transfer, platinum/palladium, kallitype, Vandyke brown, argyrotype, salt, and the now discontinued printing-out paper. Nelson began with large format cameras (12¿ x 20¿ and 7¿ x 17¿) but added digital negatives after a Dick Arentz/Mark Nelson Formulary workshop in the 1990s. Nelson continues to use both in-camera and digitally captured images in his work. He has shown work regionally. He is a co-author of Carbon Transfer Printing (Routledge, 2019) and authored a chapter on kallitype in Digital Negatives with QuadtoneRIP (Routledge, 2021). Nelson teaches carbon transfer classes at the Formulary/Workshops in Montana.
