this is just life

These photos were taken on my phone while I was back in Ireland last month.

The idea for these photographs came out of nowhere. I took the only book I own; Isn't It Pretty To Think So by Nick Miller, opened it on a random page and began photographing it. I soon noticed one of the words on this random page was 'photograph', and it kinda freaked me out..? I began by experimenting with just one page, shooting different depths of field and framing etc., then it lead to playing around with many pages and eventually creating the half circle shaped thing. For the later images, I used the flashlight on my phone to illuminate the pages. I used a tripod, mainly because I decided to photograph the images at night for some strange reason. I felt it gave more depth to the book, and I guess the night time is when I feel most alive.
