Figures

We often forget the nuances. Again and again, people are reduced to numbers and percentages. To populations and segments. To anonymous representations of humanity. In statistics, individuals become data points in a spreadsheet or a chart, where they can easily be moved around, have their titles, shapes, and appearances altered. On the street, these data points have voices, emotions, and dreams. A simple hello is usually enough to bring an anonymous data point to life. This collection of photographs portrays the human representation in an urban environment, focusing on figures rather than detailed nuances.

Technical Approach

All of the photographs in this collection are double exposures captured in-camera. The first exposure usually captures the scene with human activity and is intentionally out of focus. The second exposure, taken at the exact same location, adds texture to the photograph and typically features patterns in tiles, rocks, waves, or something that represents the scene.

Camera used: Fujifilm X100V
