notes on my techniques and why I do them
The camera zooms in as if leaning in due to interest. My interest in textures and beauty within the world therefore zoomed into and isolated within the frames. Although this is not identical to physically looking and leaning into something in real life. How does one capture something that cannot be directly observed and recreated? […]
