She was rather interested in the construction of the photograph from the ground up. This led to a lot of her photographs having an abstract quality to them while also being a representational image before the lens. The printing process is very straightforward. A lot of the prints she makes are traditional analog prints and are not manipulated during the printing process. They are also not manipulated digitally after the fact. The effects, the colors, and the quality of lighting are all manipulated in the studio. She physically makes the manipulation before taking the pictures and playing around with the space of the objects she is shooting. A lot of what is seen in the prints is actually what she sees while she is shooting and putting the pictures together. For example, she took a few mirrors propped up against one another and then uses a strobe light that has a red gel on the light. The shadows moving in her images is actually a shadow from her moving the lights around the space. When she shoots she spends a lot of time arranging objects, looking back at the lens to see how the composition is coming together. Once she finds an interesting composition she is content with and wants to continue working with it she locks down the camera to not move the setup. Then she plays around with the lighting. Looking through the lens is no longer important, but rather the lighting around the space. This allows her to get an idea of where the shadows are falling. In studio lighting there's a light to see where the arrangements are but the strobe light itself fires off lighting in a different manner really quickly, so she is somewhat aware of what she will get but not entirely. This allows her to work with dramatic shadows and get a sense of light.

After graduating she learned that she no longer wanted to take pictures out in the world but wanted to construct photography in the studio. Still, she was unsure of what the subject would be. A lot of her early smoke studies she considered tests, but it did pave a path for her current style of photography.

Eileen
Quinlan spoke at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston discussing her exhibit, Momentum 13: Eileen Quinlan. Most of the time she spends doing photography is in the studio arranging objects. Eileen Quinlan was experimenting with objects coming into the picture and adding gels for color.

Quinlan uses medium and large format analog cameras to create abstract photographs, and then agitates the film via steel wool or long chemical processing. Some of her photographic subjects are smoke, mirrors, mylar, colored lights, and other photographs. The result is photographic images that are
