In Double (Series)
DESCRIPTION
In Double is a surreal photographic series that reveals famous landmarks in a way they haven't been seen before.
Exclusively shot on medium format film with all the manipulations created in camera by using the double exposure technique. In this digital age of Photoshop viewers struggle to comprehend how the images are created without its aid.
In modern Western Society we’ve lost our connection to nature, and we treat it with such little respect. As most of us know, we’re causing the planet great harm by the industrial farming practices, fast fashion, dirty energy, fossil fuels and overpopulation, among other issues.
This series juxtaposes the beauty of man made structures with flowers, trees and the ocean, with the hope people will spend some mindful moments appreciating the the textures, colours and shapes. I used architecture in this series to emphasise how capable we are as a human race. When we collaborate and work together we are able to achieve amazing feats. It exemplifies the need for balance in a modern society. We share this Earth, and moderation is key to its future.
