biography

Renowned photographer and educator, Laurie Klein, is regarded as one of the most influential infrared photographers in the world. Laurie holds a BFA from Rochester Institute of Technology and an MFA from Ohio University.

Early in her career, Laurie studied with Ansel Adams. She is the author of Infrared Photography: Artistic Techniques for Brilliant Images and Photographing The Female Form with Digital Infrared both published by Amherst Media, Hand Coloring Black and White Photography published by Quarry Publishers, and is published in numerous magazines.
Her images have been exhibited globally. Laurie teaches regularly at Santa Fe Photographic Workshops, Maine Media, and presents her own boutique workshops.

Nicole Cudzilo has been producing images since first discovering photography in 2008. Primarily a self portrait photographer, she is drawn to color palette and form, frequently placing herself within a landscape and using her body’s relationship with the environment to create a narrative.

With a process that is slow and methodical, she often hikes into her locations ladened with backpacks full of costuming and wigs which she then selects based on the landscape. She uses a tripod and self timer to fire a set of images, allowing her to fluidly move through slightly different positions to find the best pose for the environment.

Nicole studied photography under Laurie Klein and has been assisting & modeling for Laurie's workshops for over ten years.
