Between the conception. And the creation.
Between the emotion. And the response.
Falls the Shadow.
T.S.Eliot.
The circle ends. And begins again. And the past is past is filed with elements in opposition, juxtaposed as one.
Memory. And uncertainty.
Hopes. And disappointment.
Desire. And loss.
We're in an endless state of living and dying. This series explores the fleeting shadows of twilight time, the faint seconds between now and then that float just above reality.
The images are created entirely in-camera, rather than with post processing manipulations.
To acheive this, I built twenty hand-made cameras and lenses that are frequently unpredictable and technically challenging due to their extensive limitations.
These cameras are instinctual, mysterious and ambiguous in nature.
Just as in life, these images reveal that things are never as simple as black and white.
What matters is what lies between.
