Life

Carol A. Henry was born in Hamilton, Ohio in 1960. Since 1985, she has lived in California and now resides in Carmel, CA.

Photography

In creating her photographic work, she does not use a camera; her photographic work is created in a darkroom directly on Ilfochrome (formerly Cibachrome) paper. Known for her botanical imagery, she projects the light through her subjects onto the positive receiving Ilfochrome color photographic paper, creating one-of-a-kind images.[1] Her images are made with transmitted[2] light, creating clarity and saturation.[3] She worked with this experimental process[4] for more than 20 years. Because of her unique process of directing light through her subject-matter, The San Francisco Chronicle named Carol Henry as one of the 100 reasons to visit Carmel, CA during Carmel's 100 year anniversary celebration, calling her botanical photography "...erotic, vibrant, bold and delicate at the same time" [5]

Curatorial Work

She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not

In 2016, Carol Henry spent a full year researching and gathering work by 12 renowned women photographers with the male as subject, to form the exhibition, She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not. The exhibition celebrates a hundred years of successful women in the medium and reveals a less than exhibited photo topic! She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not features 12 of the most renowned women in photography showing images of men in their work.[6] The exhibit opens with silver gelatin photographs by Imogen Cunningham, who was called an “immoral woman” for exhibiting nude fine-art photographs of her own husband.[7] Other women included in the exhibit are Edna Bullock, Martha Casanave, Jodi Cobb, Judy Dater, Flor Garduño, Dorothea Lange, Sally Mann, Mary Ellen Mark, Holly Roberts, Adrienne Salinger, Joyce Tenneson and Henry herself. The exhibition opened in January 2017 at the Center for Photographic Art [8][9] and went on to The Florida Museum of Photographic Art in November 2017.[10][11]
