Chris Autio, Oil Colored Landscape Photographs

Chris Autio is a photographer in Missoula who specializes in photographing artwork for artists, galleries and publications. For this exhibit, he turned his talents to a solo show of 40 industrial landscapes.
“The undertaking feels burdensome,” writes Autio. “Shooting, perusing many books of negatives. Printing, sometimes in studio 25×36 sized prints. Oil coloring is my favorite part. And an enormous venture in framing, which includes old wood on table saw, adding a profile, mitering, fixing problems, painting. It is all very much worth it.”
