02 · The archive, by distance

Scroll to pull focus through fourteen frames.

Each picture stands at the distance it was shot from. Blur is the real circle of confusion for its lens and aperture.

05Disciplines
Six distances, four lenses

What I shoot, and from how far.

Every discipline has a working distance, and the distance decides the lens and the light. Hover a row to see the frame.

06Light study
Drag the light around the pear

One pear, four lights. Move the key and watch the shadow side.

Still life is mostly the shadow side. This is how I start every set: one light, moved until the shape reads, then a card to decide how dark the far side gets.
