Sean McCormick studied photography in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, where he learned traditional analogue processes and developed an interest in alternative and historical photographic techniques. After graduating, he moved to New York City, where he learned modern commercial photography lighting and digital techniques. His mastery of these skills along with his background in traditional processes let him to be selected to work with renowned artist Andres Serrano for 10 years, traveling nationally and internationally. 

McCormick’s artistic practice explores metaphysical themes including: spiritual and religious beliefs, reincarnation and past lives lived. He employs 19th-century photographic processes, drawn to their historical links to the paranormal and their distinctive rendering of form. The blue-only light sensitivity of these early emulsions produces ethereal, otherworldly tones that align with his interest in mysticism. Through this fusion of concept and technique, McCormick creates images that blur boundaries between material reality and metaphysical inquiry.
