All from the series A Snapshot Revisited, 2018 unless noted

The A Snapshot Revisited series demonstrates how one single image can be reconsidered through the many processes of photography. Layer after layer can be peeled away as the aesthetic of each individual format influences the way one sees the same image. Tintype, black and white, cyanotype, a painted Polaroid...each piece is an essential copycat of the other, collectively sharing the same image, but tells a different story.
