Studio #15
In the Comforts of Home series, Allen Bryan re-examines and digitally reorganizes his photographic life, creating pictures that question comfortable reality. These are figments of a world that isn’t as real as it looks at first glance. The series came about as he searched in recent years for connections between his early, quickly taken photographs of oddities and ironic juxtapositions and the slower, contemplative landscape work that followed.
