A series from a larger body of work taken over 7 years, exploring the use of long shutter speeds. Subjects are mostly captured at night or when daylight is fading from the sky. In environments where people are engaged in ritual: Festivals, processions, funfairs, circus, dance performances, parties and nightclubs. All effects are produced in-camera with pans, zooms and sometimes shooting without looking through the viewfinder. The images are spontaneous responses to my transitory states of mind - hopes, fears and surreal passions - carried by my desire to produce work that is challenging and aesthetically unique.
