Screen Test
Step into my frame
For once, you are the one in front of my lens. Turn on your camera and become a frame from my Fragile series: deep blacks, soft light and a veil of bubble wrap between us. The bubbles never settle the same way twice, so no two portraits come out alike.
- 01Switch on your camera. The darkroom opens on the card.
- 02Play with the light. Turn toward a window and let the shadows sculpt your face.
- 03Hold still, take the shot and keep your print.
It all happens on your device. Nothing is uploaded or saved anywhere, and the camera switches off the moment you stop or leave the page.
