Surveys is an expansive photographic series that intricately merges two distinct analog mediums: the medium format camera and the half-frame camera. By juxtaposing these two formats, the artist creates a multi-layered narrative that challenges conventional landscape photography. The work delves into the unexpected beauty of everyday environments, using unorthodox framing to explore the subtle and often overlooked details within both natural and urban surroundings.
A unique aspect of Surveys is the careful integration of black-and-white photographs within the predominantly color series. These monochrome images are subtly woven throughout the work, inviting viewers to seek them out among the vibrant scenes. This interplay between color and black-and-white encourages a deeper engagement, transforming familiar landscapes into something unexpected, and prompting viewers to look closer, discovering hidden layers in the everyday.
