Jamie Baldridge is a surrealist who creates psychological tableaux by manipulating and constructing photographs that externalize the inner dialogues of consciousness. Baldridge first discovered the artist inside himself as a child after reading 101 Fairy Tales, a book he happened to find in a trunk in his grandmother's attic. Through the use of digital manipulation, he creates deeply symbolic and stunning images that confront his culture and illuminate the abstruse nature of the human condition. Baldridge stages sets for photographing which he then finishes using digital editing.
