This series explores the effects of smart phones and social media on our everyday lives.
All photos were captured in Dublin and London, including the long exposure with a hidden message.
I began taking photos as a form of therapy/rehab after suffering my fourth concussion in four years, at the age of 21. Shortly after purchasing my first camera I discovered long-exposure photography and began experimenting with motion. Long-exposures allowed me to slow down and become present with my surroundings.
Photography helped me regain my mental health and discover my creative passion. I am now studying Graphic Design online at the Toronto Film School while playing pro hockey in Denmark.

entry description
“The most successful tech products gradually integrate themselves into our lives. Before long, we forget what life was like before them. Most of us have that relationship today with smartphones and internet platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Google. Their benefits are so obvious we can’t imagine foregoing them. Not so obvious are the ways that technology products change us. The process has repeated itself in every generation since the telephone, including radio, television, and personal computers. On the plus side, technology has opened up the world, providing access to knowledge that was inaccessible in prior generations. It has enabled us to create and do remarkable things. But all that value has a cost.” - Roger McNameeThis series explores the effects of smart phones and social media on our everyday lives.
