Cress finds beauty in the unexpected. Deteriorating homes, rotting
barns, rusting metal, factories left to their own defenses. These
subjects and more are the heart of Cress' personal portfolio. Cress'
odd obsession for such debilitating sites stems from her curiosity in
how these places came to be and what they resembled in their original
glory. While others may find aesthetic interest in other subject
matter, Cress finds beauty in objects and places that exude history and
inanimate trauma.
Cress shoots
with a variety of media, including her Nikon D300, a Hasselblad film
camera, and even her basic 35mm SLR. Cress shoots in accordance to the
mood of her subject matter. Cress has traveled to Boston, New Orleans,
St. Louis, and Chicago to shoot her current work.
