Joyce is an American, fine art photographer. Her camera of
choice is a 20x24 Polaroid. Her photographs have a soft, surreal feel to them. They are relatively simple as she usually only focuses on one to two
subjects against a static background. Her subjects tend to be slightly less
than sharp- and she uses a lighting technique that causes them to glow. The photographs in her collections possess a painterly quality: She also uses de-saturated colors in
her photos, matching and contrasting them with the skin tones and clothing of
her subjects. Using a slight blur, Joyce creates a seemingly ephemeral being
from her imagination -leaving us viewers completely dazzled.
The subjects of Joyce’s work are primarily women- most only partially clothed. With the use of her distinct
technique, she frames them as mysterious, delicate creations. Another reoccurring
subject in her work are flowers. She beautifies them with her lighting and
coloring. Her flowers, however, are much
sharper and less technically tampered with than her portraits. I think that
Joyce is pushing the boundaries of photography and going places that have not
been explored yet- by trying to incorporate the feelings of other mediums in
her work.
