Hello again! It has been awhile since my last entry. The last couple months have been one hell of a rollercoaster. With that said, I have been photographing a lot but developing less and I’ve been trying to wrap up a project that I have been working on since the beginning of the pandemic (more on that in a future entry) which explains the lack of content for these entries.
This entry is dedicated to disembodied faces. What I mean by this is; faces are visible, yet they do not appear or are attached to the body or bodies in frame. I tend to “fire from the hip” and zone focus a lot when I’m out in the street. This results in 10% semi well composed happy accidents and 90% missed or uninteresting photographs. Not all of these are “from the hip”, some are composed solely based on the subject manner and what is present in the frame. These photographs were made with the intent of composition practice, which is something that I have been working on and wanting to improve for the past couple of months. After seeing these results, I feel a bit more confident in my “from the hip” compositions as well as choosing what to show in the frame.
Shot on Kodak Tri-X 400 with a Leica M-A and a 35mm Summicron.
