Creativity In an Empty World

Photographs by Carrie Schreck

“Finding ways to keep shooting in April and May left me with limited options. You find yourself trapped inside feeling claustrophobic or out in an empty world. I wanted capture both of these feelings. For this series I photographed my model, Donavon, on both medium format and 35mm loaded into a medium format TLR. We shot inside in a confined space, then double-exposed with images of the only places I could visit - my rooftop at night, or a beach at sunset from the empty boardwalk. The act of rewinding the film to do the second set of exposures means there's a lot of chance involved in your final product. CineStill has continued to ship darkroom chemicals so it's been a good time to take chances with alternative developing too.”
