Liz Huston is a Los Angeles based photographer who has found her calling in photomontage. One can immediately detect the cathartic purge that inspires her psychological images. Laden with symbols, her photos are equal parts modern and antiquated in both process (she merges vintage and current elements) and point of view. The result of hours spent toiling in a digital darkroom layering, masking and texturing has made me rethink my position on editing. I've equated photoshop to cosmetic surgery, another fine tuning process to erase the imperfections on the surface and create a more desirable image. But Liz is going beyond enhancing a sky or throwing light on a smile. She is using technology to perfect a new art form. I'm inspired, albeit daunted!
