Brief description of his process:
- Overlaps several negatives to have different parts of photos joined together
Other commonly used techniques from him:
- Uses photography rather than computers
- “Technique supports image”
- Takes 2 photos both the same (with half of the subject in light, with the other half of the image black) and reflects the image backward to create an exactly symmetrical object
- Using black backgrounds to create seamless transitions between photos
- “Stopping looking at the negative as the finish point, and use it as the starting point”

Brief description of her process:
- Photoshop layering to add different elements to her work
Other commonly used techniques from her:
- Uses computers and scanning to generate images/elements rather than taking her own photographs of the elements
- Uses a more organic way of editing; never goes into creating with a set idea
- Edits work with multiple outcomes and then narrow down to which is best
