Jon and I will be taking photos at the same time on the same day but in mostly different cities. Currently he’s in Melbourne and I’m in London but over this period of time we’ll both be traveling. It’s a collaboration that started on his birthday (yesterday) and will end on my birthday. Do check it out!

At My Most Beautiful

I shot this in a portrait photography session in the studio and we were mainly focused on digital cameras and studio flashes and all that. Then I decided to do a few with my film rangefinder, knowing full well that it’d be blurry and shaky because the room was too dark for my film/camera. Yet it turned out that this photo is more beautiful than the perfectly well-lit and well-posed digital shots. Sometimes it’s not about seeing beauty in imperfection, but the imperfection is the beauty itself.
