Hybrid Abstractions

Hybrid Abstractions is a photographic series that uses large format film transparencies combined with registered high contrast masked composites. With multiple exposures on a single frame, I create images that can be reconstructed in- camera in both formats using traditional optical effects.

About Artist

Robert Baliello

I started my career in photography in 1970. I worked in the medical and commercial fields for the first 10 years. By 1980 I was running a multimedia company that serviced the print and multi media/Audio Visual productions. My photographic skills continued to expand into optical printing and special effects photography. I created a motion control rostrum camera system, which included motion control. I specialized in creating large format photography using special effects. I have worked with advertising agencies, art directors and graphic artists to produce a variety of print campaigns.
