Doris Fiedrich
Early in her photographic journey, Doris Fiedrich engaged in an eclectic mix of formal training and workshops and a lot of intensive self-study. This led to working exclusively with black and white film for several years, including darkroom work and traditional hand-colouring techniques. In the mid-1990s, she developed her business as a family and children’s portraitist and event photographer. Concurrently, she became involved with the Vancouver flamenco community photographing dance rehearsals and performances. As a member of Artists in our Midst, she exhibited with this diverse group of artists for 10 years. Her work has also been shown with the long defunct Exposure Gallery and Photo Haus Vancouver, among other local venues.
In later years, studies in fine art and art history became stepping stones for searching out alternative processes: combining silk screen printing, drawing and painting, and collaging with photography. Although Doris now works mostly with digital imaging, she continues to explore these ideas within her personal photography projects. Her interests include street photography, portraiture, landscape, the ever changing city, and the bees, the birds and the plants.
