Paige Billin-Frye and Christopher Gumm
Paige began taking pictures when she was a kid, printing them with her Dad in their makeshift darkroom using the same enlarger that he had printed on with his dad when he was growing up. Since then she has studied and experimented with various aspects of photography, most recently balancing the digital world of Photoshop and Lightroom with making work that she can touch with her hands, exploring various historical processes of photo printing. She then incorporates her photographs into handmade art books. Her fine art work can be seen at www.bettermousetrapstudio.com.
Paige is a member of the Handmade Photo Group at Photoworks.
