Liepāja 2018 – A series of double-exposure portraits exploring the relationship between a photographer and his subjects. For each image, a 35mm film camera in double-exposure mode was used to take a photograph of a subject, who then pointed the camera back at the photographer to take a shot. Each pair of shots is combined in a single double-exposure portrait, sometimes peculiarly aligned and at other times uncannily coinciding. Further imperfections are derived from a printing process designed to mimic the transitions from photographer to subject and back again. After processing the film, it was digitally scanned, the resulting image is transferred into digital negatives to be printed manually on silver gelatin paper, producing a shadowy materiality that documents the passage from photographer and subject, between digital and analog.
