Category: Chocolates

Chocolates is a series of photographs that suggest the ethereal qualities of landscapes in the early morning fog. The photos were made using a Polaroid 250 Land Camera and expired Polaroid Chocolate peel-apart film. In a time when apps replicate vintage cameras, the chocolate-brown tones and textures resulting from the film’s wet emulsions suggest more emotionally and affectively a heightened sense of silence and mystery that comes with being in natural settings surrounded by fog.
