Lauren E. Simonutti's books

Lauren E. Simonutti was a gifted and prolific American fine art photographer. She passed away in 2012 at the age of 44. The sensitive and soft harshness of her images echoed her constant turmoils in the face of mental illness. She lived the latter part of her life inside her old house, capturing images that recorded her inner self. She had a very active presence online on deviantART, flickr and blogger, among others.

Two books on her art are available on blurb:

"Over three and one half years I have spent alone amidst these 8 rooms, 7 mirrors, 6 clocks, 2 minds and 199 panes of glass. And this is what I saw here. This is what I learned." ~ Lauren E. Simonutti

Susan Burnstine's 'Within Shadows'

Image © Susan Burnstine

Susan Burnstine is a contemporary American fine art photographer. Her personal style of black and white photography echoes qualities of the late 19th/early 20th century Pictorialist movement. Through ethereal, out-of-focus images, Susan represents moods and elements of her dreams with cameras she built from salvaged lenses and other camera parts.

Her 2011 hardcover book, Within Shadows, contains 100 pages with 45 duotones, accompanied with text written by George Slade, Russell Joslin, Susan Burnstine and Susan Spiritus.
