A discerning eye reveals hidden features of images that portray the complete picture once uncovered with flash photography. My imagery focuses on the missing detail being brought back by to view and evoking disturbance. Only through a specific photographic technique will these thoughts and feelings emerge, revealing small details from several images that have been taken over 3 years. Resembling uncovering a secret only you have the prerogative to reveal. The images only appear when the right light is captured at the right angle, playing with the idea of perception, drawing attention to what’s often overlooked or unseen. It’s about creating the moment of discovery and eliciting emotions, when what is hidden comes to light, challenging how we understand visibility and the things we can’t immediately see. Ultimately, it is a reflection on what is revealed and what stays hidden in plain sight.
