Image of the day is *Disaggregation*, an in-camera double exposure on film.

One area that I am more and more intrigued by with this project is when parts of the body simply fade away into nothingness. It's hard to replicate, but it can be very powerful, as I think it is here. The question then becomes "how far can I go and still have a recognisable portrait..."

Image of the day is *Pointillism*, an in-camera double exposure on film.

There's something special about tiny leaf textures. While you can hardly distinguish the leaves themselves, they create a powerful pointillist effect, as if the painter Seurat had taken the photograph. While this image is very simple in concept, it's maybe the one that moves me the most from our session with Simon. I definitely intend to do an analog print of this one.

I'm finally getting the opportunity again to shoot male models. I've always found it more difficult to recruit male models for this project, and it's much harder work, simply because I lack the spontaneous vocabulary that we all have for female nudes, having been exposed to a lot more of it in advertising and media. Which makes it all the more interesting. This is a simple pose to start with, very statuesque.

Well, #BandcampFriday started out well for me! Got a sale of Metaphysical Shitposting in the first hour to kick off this most special of days. Thanks, benefactor! I appreciate you!

Now...who's next? Chock full of wild #experimental instruments, techniques and concepts; #Eurorack #modular madness; gritty #CassetteTape textures; and uncountable references to drugs, cosmic horror, mysticism and other #HighWeirdness

Image of the day is *Fragments of you*
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These "through the leaves" textures create a puzzle effect that I don't get tired of...

Sometimes I have the impression that we are going back to the Middle Ages. And I feel no protection at all.

Image of the day is *Chervilled*, an in-camera double exposure on film.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't know if that texture was actually chervil (I somehow doubt it, just growing randomly in a park) but whatever it is I love the delicate little branches. And they look like chervil. Anyway, they make for a great texture, as you can see here.

Images of the day are *The Lemon Portraits*, cyanotype prints on Hahnemühle Harmony HP 300gsm
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is the result of an idea I've wanted to try for a while now: a cyanotype print of a portrait that has a fruit or plant in the portrait, and is framed by the same plant. I first tried the lemon slices as photograms, but that didn't work: the exposure time for the lemons was 4 or 5 times that of the portrait, and even with maximum exposure, they came out blurry because I could only put them on the glass, not under the glass. So I went another route and photographed each individual slice of lemon to form a second layer negative with just the framing, and then exposed the portrait and the frame at the same time. These are my first attempts, but I'm quite pleased with them, I must say.
