About Carol

Bio photo Carol Maurin Pittsburgh Photographer

Portrait photography is ultimately a language of expressions. Carol brings an artist's eye and a psychologist's perception to the process of creating portraiture. Her gift is in rendering those expressions into images that convey and celebrate the unique character of each person.

"Whether executives, families, children, or pets a photo session is an amazing experience I look forward to with excitement. When children revisit early pictures of their family I want them to be able to see the joy in their parents' faces. And when parents look at those same images years later, I want them to be able to see the promise of what their children have become."

Carol's privately commissioned black and white portraits are hand-printed in the darkroom from negatives on beautiful fibre-based paper. In contrast to the fast pace of digital photography, the slow chemistry of the darkroom brings a distinctive depth to the finished image. Great care is taken to maintain the highest conservation qualities in each silver-gelatin print. These heirloom pieces will be enjoyed for many generations.

Carol uses state of the art digital equipment for her color work.
