Last in our look at this year’s portfolio honors is Matthew Murphy (but certainly not least with the last name Murphy.) Matt majored in Black & White fine art and minored in Color. He’s chosen to show work here from his Black & White series called “Meditations.”

Matt explains: “Meditations is a series of self-portraits shot in the studio with a large format camera. They are equal parts photography and performance art as they are all single exposures with shutter speeds ranging from thirty seconds to two minutes. All images seen here are scans of selenium toned silver gelatin prints.”
