Honorable Mention / 2019 / Fine Art / Abstract

Timeless Buildings

The goal of this project is to photograph architectural buildings of cities all over the world, which are hundreds of years old, in analog large format 4x5 and medium format 6x7.
Each photo has up to 100 shots in a single sheet of film.
All effects result directly in the camera, on the negative.
I wanted to compress time and the behavior of space in one picture for the observer.
