About Jeffrey

Hailing from New York state, Jeffrey Conley received a BFA in Photographic Studies at Rochester Institute of Technology. In 1991, he moved to Yosemite National Park where he photographed extensively and led seminars in photographic instruction.

Now residing in Willamette Valley of Oregon, Mr. Conley specializes in creating ethereal black and white prints. His subject matter is diverse, from urban landscapes and found still-lives, to studies of pristine wilderness. Each print he creates is meticulously crafted by him to his high quality standards with traditional darkroom processes or modern pigment mediums. Subtle aesthetic variation within printing decisions, in conjunction with processing and printing material alterations make each print a distinctly original creation. Each is made in small, limited editions.

In all, Jeffrey Conley seeks to capture a meditative spirit that uniquely defines his approach to photographing the landscape. He strives to create luminous prints that he feels possess a distinctive richness unique to traditional photographic processes.

My prints are made in a darkroom utilizing the platinum method, a 19th century hand-made print making process evocative of alchemy. Each unique print is hand-coated with a hand-mixed emulsion formula featuring platinum and palladium metals. Platinum prints are considered among the most permanent of the photographic print making processes due to the incredible stability of the platinum group of noble metals. The prints are characterized by an exceptionally long and delicate range of velvety tones and a warm image color. I feel that the platinum process bestows a radiant shine and the resultant prints possess a distinctive luminosity.”
