Topics Black and White, Documentary, Fine Art, Photography, Portraiture

Geneva is an ongoing series focusing on the neighborhood at intersection of Mission and Geneva in San Francisco, told through multiple photographic formats: from wetplate collodion images on metal, glass and acrylic, to traditional silver gelatin prints, color and digital portraits and landscapes. The project is both personal essay and a document of this San Francisco neighborhood in transition. The project has been exhibited at Rayko Photo Center and SF Camerawork, and is part of a book-in-progress. For inquiries and print sales, email kariorvik@gmail.com.
