This box of old prints I’d decided to throw out two years prior but for whatever reason, didn’t. They became a feature of the studio, a monument to no longer needed memories, a still life.
I’m fascinated by topographical strata and layers of traces and I then realised their potential as I started to shoot them in a controlled studio environment in my studio on and off for several weeks.
I’m a photographer but not a professionally trained studio one and therefore this was a whole new learning curve for me. Infinity screens, lighting, tripods, different lens etc. Given my inexperience, I just went for it, playing with different lighting, candles and other techniques. These are just a few examples, one of which became the image for my show, in Prague in december ’24, called Helter Skelter. I now need help with editing the rest in post production hopefully for a show in the near future.
