Natural Focus

2012 · 10 min

A quiet, abstract meditation on light and landscape that rewards patience with slowly shifting, contemplative black-and-white images.

Overview
Natural focus documents the natural landscape in black and white. By varying the opening of the diaphragm, re-framing with the zoom, changing film speeds, transforming the notion of time and superimposing different shots is a dialogue between fact and technological device it represents.
