Joseph Kayne just returned from New Mexico after his tintype photography residency at Navajo-owned Cody Sanderson Design. He sent us his photographs with this text.
Joseph Kayne photographs the American landscape, the Heartland and Native American archaeological sites with a large format 4×5 camera. His latest projects involve working in the rare antique process, known as wet collodion tintype photography, using an old wooden 8×10 camera and a brass Petzval lens dating from 1870. Joe's photographs have been exhibited in galleries, museums, and private collections across the country, including the Heard Museum, the Couse-Sharp Historic Site-La Luz de Taos 2024 Gala Weekend, and the Museum of Natural History, and her tintype of Deb Haaland was featured on the Rachel Maddow Show. He is one of 50 finalists in Photolucida's Critical Mass 2024 competition. Joe's clients include The Nature Conservancy, the Sierra Club, the National Audubon Society, CF Martin Guitar Co. and the U.S. Department of Energy. Joe has a rare collection of large format images of American tallgrass prairies and barns. He was one of the first color photographers to depict archaeological sites and Anasazi dwellings as an Art form, and he is well known for his images of barns and large-format nature photographs. Joe has been awarded 3 artist residencies by the United States National Park Service at the historic Navajo trading post, Hubbell Trading Post, in the heart of the Navajo Nation, and has enjoyed several artist residencies in galleries and with Native American jewelry designers and creating free tintype portraits for them.
