TITLE: Finding Symmetry
I always find geometrical symmetry very striking. It gives me a sense of order and precision that life doesn’t guarantee most of the time. If things were in order or defined more precisely, we could choose clearly the way in which we would like to go, and there would be less chance of making mistakes. Unfortunately, I can rarely find it in reality, but at least I can picture this elusive precision through my photography.
Shoot with 35 mm Analog camera and film SpurUltra800
AUTHOR: Luca Tatoscevitz (Ireland)
As a portrait photographer with a strong background in theatre, I'm used to working with models, MUA's and stylists to create a vibrant theatrical scene. Because of the Covid pandemic, I was forced to slow down my photo projects and so I couldn't interact anymore with my subjects or have the level of creativity I had before.
For this reason I decided to go back to my origins in Analog photography.
I re-discovered the pleasure of being an observer of reality rather than a creator of scenery, and I felt once again the thrill of shooting slow.
The excitement of shooting with film is endless. It forces you to think carefully before pushing the button, obligating you to give more importance to the moment rather than clicking mindlessly as so many of us are used to doing now with the complex technologies of our smartphones, or even with digital cameras.
The pandemic impacted my life harshly, but it gave me the precious opportunity to breathe life again into a type of photography that I lost and forgot about.
