“Stacy is an old-school photographer who enjoys the retro arts—and we’re talking pinhole camera retro! It’s a special kind of experience to view modern-day Phoenix as it would have been photographed by pioneers of the craft, and her cyanotype pieces—a traditional method of hand-developing which produces striking blue images—are like something out of Alice in Wonderland. Stacy captures everything of interest in that stark, arid, desert landscape, taking us along for the ride. We especially love the pictures she takes of Phoenix residents, which brings us a little closer to life in this bustling city. ”

“Stacy Piotti is a cyanotype photographer that uses a camera like no other. “I got to thinking about the common saying, ‘That looks like it was taken with a potato,” she told us earlier this year. She ran with that concept and turned Mr. Potato Head into a camera! Gimmick aside, Piotti creates terrific images that wouldn’t look out of place in the early days of photography. We enjoy seeing someone bring old-school feels to the modern era.
