After my father passed from a brain tumour in September 2024, I began White Knight, the first chapter of a grief trilogy. These in-camera photographs became my therapy, transforming pain into something beautiful.
After my father passed away from a brain tumour in September 2024, I began White Knight, the first chapter of a trilogy on grief. Every image is created entirely in-camera using a variety of experimental techniques such as ghosting, light painting, lens masking, and Vaseline smeared across the lens to mirror his final months as memory slipped away. Red and blue dominate the palette, embodying the emotional dualities I lived through as well as a metaphor for heaven and hell. Whenever grief struck, I reached for the camera. These photographs became my therapy—an urgent attempt to transform pain into something beautiful, to hold on to him a little longer, and to honour a life by turning mourning into meaning.
