“The Quest for Authenticity: My Approach to Working with Black and White Film”
Choosing black and white film means accepting to go against the grain of the instantaneous and the rushed. It is a return to slow breathing, to measured gestures, to the image that emerges in the shadows of the darkroom like a secret being revealed.
Black and white erases the superfluous. It strips the world bare to retain only the essential: light, contrasts, texture. Each photograph becomes a timeless trace, a language made of nuances and silences.
In this practice, I seek less to reproduce than to feel. The grain, the anticipation of development, the uncertainty of the result are all part of the work. It is a way of inhabiting time, of seeing differently, and of giving each image the density of a sensitive memory.
