Cheryl Wassenaar

A few weeks ago I photographed a new piece of work by artist Cheryl Wassenaar.
We both used to have our studios in the same building a few years ago where I shot environmental portraits of her (above). Cheryl constructs her artwork from discarded commercial signage by transforming segments into colors and patterns incorporating language and numerals. Most of her other work hangs on the wall, but these new pieces are freestanding structures that measure 8.5 to 9 feet tall with different designs on all four sides. The images were shot at the different angles, and then with a human subject to show the sense of scale. Thanks to Mark Miselnicky for providing the human scale factor.

Autism

©David Torrence

I photographed this feature on autism back in the spring for St. Louis Magazine. The two subjects were Mia and Tanner. Both kids have a form of autism. While at first it seemed a difficult subject to convey visually without appearing cliche', I felt that in the end I was able to provide an in-depth look into their lives. I am thankful to both kids and their families for opening their homes to me with hopes of helping people better understand this disease. This was by far my most challenging and rewarding project this year. You can listen to an audio interview with writer Jeannette Cooperman about the article here. Below are a few of my favorites from the shoot.
