Portal of the Pyramid.HA copy

Jack Perno’s statement about PORTAL OF THE PYRAMID:

This one is a combination of multiple exposures on 4×5 Polaroid and multiple composite printing in the darkroom. The Portal was taken in the studio under semi-controlled conditions. The pyramid is located at the Louvre Museum in Paris. I brought my Polaroids with me during a trip. This was another image that I didn’t plan. I shot it at night. Months later, I was looking at the images and decided to add the clouds into the foreground.
