Self-Portrait, Cheryl Machat Dorskind “Fog”  

Cheryl Machat Dorskind, a renown professional photographer, divides her time as a portrait photographer and fine art visual artist. Her signature style handpainted photography, “photopaintings,” and her natural light, lifestyle, and environmental portraiture are sought by clients worldwide. 

From the beginning of my photography career, I married paint with photos. Photography was my canvass, color my voice.

Local Color is an organic body of work as Cheryl Machat Dorskind continues to explore the East End of Long Island where she lives. Each image is a pigment inkjet, printed on the finest museum-grade paper.

Handpainted photographs, photopaintings Handpainted Photographs - Limited Editions
I began my journey as a professional photographer merging black and white silver gelatin photographs with oil paint. I call them" photopaintings" and each "photopainting" in this collection is part of a limited edition of 25. Every image is hand-printed in the darkroom (on gelatin silver photographic paper) and then handpainted with washes and layers of oil paints and artist materials to create one-of-a-kind exquisite art.
