Dionisio Cortes Ortega is a Mexican-American visual artists, photographer and architect living and working in New York City. While studying architecture at The Cooper Union, Dionisio took a number of film and photography classes in the art school and has been shooting film ever since. Recently, he has had a growing interest in landscapes and shoots whenever he is traveling. 

​

Dionisio created this website inspired by the film contact sheet. Not every photograph taken is shown here, this photographs featured here are a selection of a few. However, there are several photographs similar to each other that Dionisio decided to keep, which would normally be discarded. The photographs are also meant to be presented and organized together as a landscape collage allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in the location.

​

Dionisio shoots mostly with 120 analogue film and uses almost exclusively the Yashica Matt 124 G. Occasionally, he uses the Canon F-1, Olympus PEN-D3, Canon AE-1, the Moskava-5, and the Rollei 35.

​

All photographs on this website have been taken with analogue 120 medium format film. The film is developed professionally and then scanned with limited resolution for website viewing. A scan with up to 12800 resolution can be made any of the photographs to produce printed high resolution images of approximately 60inches x 60inches. Printed photographs can be made with archival Gliceé ink. Dark room silver gelatin prints can be made as a special request. Please contact Dionisio to inquire about prints.

​

Dionisio allows an edition of 10 for each of his photographs printed at any size.  All printed  photographs will note edition number, titled, and be signed. 

​

Dionisio also works in large scale sculpture and installation work. His work sculptural work can be seen at dionisioco.com. Dionisio is Co-founder of Reform Architecture: reformarchitecture.com
