PROMPTPersonal work by Strange Light Studio Co.
Go somewhere ordinary. Stay long enough for it to get weird. Take the picture.
THE PRACTICE
Ghostlight is the stuff I shoot when nobody hired me to shoot anything. One place, one lens, maybe twenty minutes. No client brief, no requirement that the pictures become useful, and no reason to keep going once I got what I came for.
LOW-FRICTION FIELD WORK
NEAR THE CAR WHEN NEEDED
BAD FRAMES STILL COUNT

Expeditions
Small shooting prompts for when I want a reason to go make photographs without planning a whole production.
