The premise
We tend to distrust the distorted image. Blur, smear, double exposure — we read them as errors. This series proceeds from the opposite conviction: that distortion, handled with care, can be a more honest tool than the sharp lens. A way of photographing what a still frame cannot usually hold.
The process
Shot across months with analogue and hybrid processes — long exposures, soft focus, chemical interruption, deliberate misregistration. Each image is less a capture than a record of a perception arriving. The subject becomes less important than the way seeing actually happens.
Where it went
Published as an editorial print series and shown in small group format. The work continues to feed into the studio's wider approach to image — a reminder that what the camera refuses to fix is often what matters most.
A sharp image lies about the eye. Distortion tells the truth of attention.
