Wishing everybody a good new year and even better clicks!

This one's from my archives, shot back in February 2023 but only processed now. You might recognise the round lights from my earlier posts; this small courtyard in Helsinki offered plenty to shoot for a creepy-lights-in-the-dark enthusiast such as myself.

One last ICM picture before I return to something more traditional. Combining motion blur and still subjects was a fun challenge, a very different kind of photography experience. I will probably attempt this again at some point or go "full ICM", we'll see. Thank you for the feedback so far!

Hi, everybody! It's been a while. I took a creative break from photography for the summer and have only now been slowly getting back into it.

For the past couple of weeks, I've been experimenting with intentional camera movement, something I've always found fascinating but haven't done much myself. The results so far are exciting; especially when combined with still subjects the scene becomes very dreamlike and esoteric. The picture you see here is essentially a double exposure – the person and the surroundings were shot in the same location but with vastly different techniques. It's like street photography taken to a whole new, existential level.

Tell me what you think, or just say hello in the comments, and I'll make sure to catch up on your latest photos!
