Molly Caenwyn

Molly Caenwyn is a photographer and photographic historian with an avid interest in the materiality of the medium.

They explore this through alternative and analogue processes. They find inspiration through critical theory and the history of photography. Their work predominantly focus on subject matter that explores eroticism, intimacy, the body and the abject. This also extends to their historical research which currently focuses on photography and the s*x industry, LGBT history and early Welsh female photographers.

D***s with (Photographic) Darkrooms 📸🏠🌈

I wish to speak to people who have experience of one or multiple of the following, as part of my PhD research:

🚨 Have you ever made or owned a home darkroom, permanent or semi-permanent?

🛁 Do you work with analogue and/or alternative photographic processes at home?

📷 Do you have memories of home darkrooms? Has this influenced your photography?

🏠 Do you have experience of setting up or running a home or community darkroom?

🫂 Have you been part of a community darkroom that felt like home?

At the bottom are the logos for the Arts and Humanities Research council, the Museum of the Home and the University of Westminster. Text at top left reads - Are you D**e with experience of darkrooms in the home or spaces that feel like home to you? If so, then this project is for you!]

Happy Winter Solstice! Here are a couple of very snowy pictures from over the years. The first was developed in Pumpkin Spice developer and the second in Hot Chocolate developer. Very fitting of the season.

Paris - other photos. I have seen so many people post about their paris trips. There was so much going on in the city that apart from Paris Photo, I don't think anyone posted about the same events! We went to a great exhibition at the Mémorial De La Shoah - "How the N***s photographed their crimes. Auschwitz 1944". And then on my last day I headed to see "POLARAKI - Thousand polaroids by Araki Nobuyoshi" at Guimet Museum.

Paris photo part 2. This year's visit was so inspiring. I couldn't sleep last night because I had so many thoughts and ideas rattling around my brain.

Paris photo part 1. First time back in 6 years and what an absolute pleasure it was. A real focus of technique and practice. So so so inspiring.

What a year!! Last new year's plans were only to carry on learning to sew and get back into creative work and photography. 📷
This included applying to exhibitions that I didn't get, had my first informal exhibition with Creatives Getting Coffee in sweden, sold at my first proper art market, made hot chocolate film developer, then ended up getting a fully funded PhD studentship in LGBTQIA Photographic history?!?! ✨️✨️
2024 January Molly would have never believed that would be the state of 2025 Jan Molly but here we are! So much can change and be accomplished in a year so here's to the next one!
