TITLE: Five days - five moods.
Five days - five moods.
You know... The women can have manuy faces. This is short photostory is to think about it.
AUTHOR: Arek Akki (Poland)
The human body plays a significant role in my photography.
I am interested in themes such as bodily discomfort, tense relationships with the environment, memory and recollection, the search for anonymity, loneliness, and alienation. I work with monochromatic analogue techniques — medium format film and wet plate collodion.
