Cryptographic

K McLaughlin is a self-taught photographer, cinematographer, and artist with a BFA in Electronic Media (film focused with a minor in psychology) from the College Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati. They take almost a guerilla approach to photography, working on the fly to paint with light and carve with depth of field. Alternatively, commercial and corporate work tends towards the light, prepared, and clean end of the spectrum, which K can also juggle. Also a proponent of DIY and mixed media, they use a blend of digital and film photography, spray paint, glitter, acrylics, paper mache, polyurethane, and years of collected and created photo color curves to conjure a variety of works that are nostalgic yet awry. Some past projects include filming for CCM’s musical theatre department, directing the Cincinnati Film Festival’s Submissions Team (2014-2015), and working with a team to build a 2100 square foot, paper mâché labyrinth for the Pandora Society.
