lun.r
2018-2026
Reflections on the 50th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing led to self-publishing the photobook Apparent Retrograde in July 2019. The book consists of photographic studies of the moon made over roughly 18 months from January 2018 to June 2019. The image sequence demonstrates the malleability of the visual information resulting from astrophotography's combination of observation, data collection and software rendering. From the visual language developed in this initial series, lun.r evolved into a series of cycles investigating the tools in a contemporary image maker’s kit. Each cycle begins with observation and data collection and pursues a different aspect of photographic visualization, a new way of seeing that expands on this idea of malleability to achieve the desired results.
