Mariah Carle
Biography:
Mariah Carle, is a 31 year old photographer who resides in the Bay Area of California. Originally a model, she has spent the past three years as the woman behind the camera. Her experience as a model has enabled her to take pictures that have appeared in multiple gallery shows, and have gained her work with both commercial and portrait clients.
This photographer uses a digital & film 35mm, medium format, and 4x5 large format to create her images. Carle started photography not by taking classes, but the old-fashioned way: by learning from others. As an intern, she was able to be “hands on” and experience life behind the camera. Everything that she learned as a “student” continues to support her in every click of the shutter. Whether she is shooting in a studio, or outdoors on location, no two images are the same and each express an emotion of the model running the gamut from blissful to despair.
While she specializes in several aspects of photography, her main talent is photographing the naked human form. In particular, her project “Nude Window” reflects the lives of her subjects that choose to expose themselves, bare, to her lens. Almost as a window to the soul, Carle is able to capture the inner and outward beauty of all 100 models that participated in this project. Completing the “play on words” aspect, each model incorporates an actual window into the shot to convey the totality of the emotion. This project was so successful that a gallery showing was just completed on January 16, 2008 in San Francisco, California. Carle has dedicated a website to “Nude Window” at www.nudewindow.com, where visitors can not only view the images, but read the stories that were shared.
Her hopes for the future are simple, keep creating art, and one day, be published. Carle’s images are unique, as is everything she chooses to shoot. Whether it is a jewelry advertisement, or a model wearing nothing but skin, she creates clean, crisp, beautiful pictures that draw the viewer in, and constantly beg for more.
