Vaughn Hutchins Biography
VAUGHN HUTCHINS has been photographing for the past 25 years. In 1981, he graduated with a B.S. degree in Natural Resources Management from Humboldt State University, and effectively a minor in darkroom technique.
Beginning in 1991, and to the present time, Vaughn works for the Art Department of Humboldt State University in charge of the operation and maintenance of the university darkroom. While he has no official teaching duties, a good amount of his time is spent one-on-one with students, helping them with all facets of photography. He has taught for several photographic workshop programs, and regularly conducts carbon printing and platinum printing workshops for HSU students. During the summers, he teaches a two-week photo class to high school students for the HSU Art Academy.
Vaughn works primarily with the carbon printing process, a process from the first days of photography. Carbon printing is a labor-intensive, hand-made process, which yields a very beautiful, full-range print that has a raised relief surface. The process is relatively simple, but its flexibility allows Vaughn to best express the light he finds under the Redwoods and in Yosemite Valley.
