title
Dejeuner
I created these images in 2016 using film and printing with traditional darkroom techniques and chemistry. I produce five silver gelatin artist prints. Large scale canvas prints in an edition of twenty-five are available to order.
Reid's belief in herself has allowed her to chart a new course in life as a full-time professional artist and woman. As Dale transitioned through her new life journey, she developed technical skills, questioned convention, trusted her instincts, and with her passion, was able to craft a distinctive artistic voice. Her artwork ranges from classical to sensual to erotic and engages the viewer to question what they see.
Owning who we are, respecting and trusting our character, and engaging people has allowed Dale to be accepted as a respected woman and professional artist.
In this digitalized world of pop art photography, Dale's unique traditional monochromatic images contain elements of being a painting or graphite. The lack of color allows the viewer to focus on the variety of textures and the richness of interesting lines and shapes that engage in an elegant, visual synthesis in each photograph.
Reid developed her artistic style with a strong focus on creating landscape images ranging from maritime to urban to industrial views. Today, her artwork is primarily created in the studio where she imbues botanical subjects with unimaginable personality and emotion.
Dale has achieved international recognition through participation in solo and group exhibitions, receiving awards and having her artwork published in print and online.
Dale M Reid is currently based in Toronto, Canada.

entry description
The oyster mushrooms captured my imagination because of their bizarre shapes, alien textures and indicate detail. It has been said that they are reminiscent of Edward Weston’s “Bell Pepper” images. This was not deliberate. I continue to develop my own artistic approach with subjects selected based on what speaks to me emotionally. The artistic style of my artwork has evolved to echo that of the members of the Group f/64. However, I continue to experiment with different approaches, presenting new and innovative artwork.I created these images in 2016 using film and printing with traditional darkroom techniques and chemistry. I produce five silver gelatin artist prints. Large scale canvas prints in an edition of twenty-five are available to order.
