PrizeGold Winner in Technique/Camera Obscura
The masks are portraits of my closest people, photographed with a pinhole camera on a Polaroid. The fact that the portrait was created using a small box was a form of magic for my models. I chose a Polaroid film because I wanted them to be color photographs that would allow me to use the entire image plane without losing a single piece. At the beginning I worked intuitively, the only thing that mattered to me was the image that was created. Over time, the entire process of creating a photograph began to matter. Searching for and fighting with matter gave me great pleasure.
