Behind the Shot: Flickers I

A portrait that feels more like a memory than a moment. A half-seen face, barely held, like a mirage emerging from the shadows. It is less about who the person is, and more about the trace they leave behind. The image is part of a series of black and white photographs exploring the fragile threshold between presence and absence. My intention was to evoke the fleeting clarity of a match struck in the dark, when there is just enough light to glimpse another, and then it is gone. These portraits are not records of identity, but echoes of an encounter, half-remembered and unresolved, like afterimages burned into memory.
