Multiple Exposure
Multiple Exposure
Multiple Exposure is a collaborative photographic project between myself and musician and photographer Tim Langsford, created between 2020 and 2021.
This body of work captures two perspectives on the emotional and psychological impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, reflecting the shared and individual experiences we all faced during that time.
Using Ilford HP5, high-speed ISO 400, 35mm film, we each shot a roll, then exchanged films, reloading them into our cameras and shooting again. This process of multiple exposure serves as a metaphor for the layers of our experience - moments of separation, solitude, anxiety, sorrow, and even hope. As the film was exposed multiple times, so too were we repeatedly exposed to the virus, both directly and indirectly, through our families and communities.
Beyond personal impact, Multiple Exposure also addresses a larger context: the pandemic’s origins, rooted in the human exploitation of animals and ecosystems, which ultimately contributed to the crisis we collectively endured. This project speaks to the fragility of life, portraying complex emotions while underscoring the interconnectedness of our lives with the natural world.
The resulting images embody the overlapping feelings of disconnection, resilience, and reflection that defined those years. This work not only captures the deeply personal toll of the pandemic but invites viewers to contemplate their own experiences and our responsibility to foster a more compassionate relationship with our world.
