Hidden Light
Hidden Light is a collection of 14 photographs, all of them captured with an infrared camera. With this project I wanted to explore how the technology of infrared cameras can transform an otherwise boring and uninspiring place into a beautiful, mysterious and ethereal sphere. The images shows that even the dullest surroundings can be interesting and beautiful. The protagonist of the story, a young girl, takes us along as she navigates the peculiar and obscure landscapes.
My work is represented by Trevillion Images, Five3 Gallery, Laguna Beach and Galerie LIK, Vienna.
