Zeny Cieslikowski

Zeny began his fine art photography career by photographing in France and Spain in 1967. His professional work was divided between commercial and Fine Art Photography until 1984, at which time Fine Art Photography became his sole professional work.

Zeny’s Fine Art Photographs are printed in limited editions and are signed and numbered by Zeny. Zeny uses a Hasselblad 500C and a Nikon FM2 for the majority of his photographs. In most cases Kodak professional negative film is used and the resulting images have been printed in his darkroom on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper.

Beginning in 2020 and continuing to the present day, I have been producing a series of photographs I refer to as my Impressionistic Visions Collection. They differ from rest of my classic, film-based, darkroom- printed Fine Art photographs in that I use digital cameras and the finished prints are produced on a metal substrate. The editions are small - only 15 of each image is made…making each Fine Art photograph from the Impressionistic Visions collection very rare indeed.
The Impressionistic Visions collection are straight, non-manipulated, non-photoshopped Fine Art photographs.
