Forms is an ongoing abstract photography project that aims to question self-identity through existential portraiture. It represents our inner selves through out-of-body experiences; an assemblance of our thoughts, beliefs and understandings manifested through our exteriors. It is a deconstruction of the centralized self, an admittance of the unintelligible and a search for substance in the paradox.
Each image is made in-camera using multiple exposures on a single sheet of 8x10 film. No digital post-processing is used in the creations. The negatives are in their final Forms.

The Frames
The negative, to the film photographer is often viewed as the most intrinsic to the moment. Cherished by entombment in plastic sheets and binders, hidden in a cabinet; safe and unseen. These physicals hope to serve as an extension of the experience that is typically reserved for the photographer.
