Manic film flash portrait, Brighton 2024
Something about those old compact film camera flash shots that is simultaneously harsh, direct and strangely unreal, yet also oddly truthful. The brutal frontal flash, flat perspective and overlit faces make everyone look faintly terrifying and deeply unflattering… but also somehow more real than modern polished digital photography.
And perhaps that is precisely why they remain so much fun.
Camera No. 16. in my Compact 35mm Project. A wonderful flawed compact.
