Glass photography

At the beginning of the photo project, I struggled with the phenomenon of the white, blank page and the fear of touching it. Nothing seemed good enough, as I always saw technical or content-related errors. It was by chance that I photographed the last three frames of an analog film on my Exa 1A through the bottom of a bottle. These photos inspired the idea for my project. My weeks-long search for an interesting motif, the right camera settings, and perfect focus came to an end the moment I began to let go of perfectionism and allow chance to take over. My technique made the photos both unexpected and, in a way, predictable. New connections between colors and shapes—ones that wouldn't normally belong together—emerged. This blurred the representational quality and created a new rhythm, independent of the original motif that color and form once represented.
