About the Artist

Michael Ivan is a filmmaker and photographer. He specializes in capturing images with a documentary style developed over 20 years running Loud Communications. It all started at age ten with capturing his mother’s expression as she entered their home for her surprise 50th birthday party. His inquisitive approach leans into a passion for learning from others and seeing them in the places they thrive and feel at home.

Photos

In this series, Michael Ivan captures Scott posed inside the walls that will become his home. Layering multiple images in the same space represents both the long time the process of construction has taken as well as the complications needed to overcome its creation. Rendering the photos in a near colorless state emphasizes the unfinished atmosphere of the structure.
