Refract

 

Refract is my name for a portrait style built from in-camera techniques using prism lens attachments, and intentional, dramatic lighting. It's an ongoing body of work within my Exposures series, alongside In Transit and Field Study, capturing the human face and body with a ghost-like counterpart appearing in the frame.

I've now opened Refract for bookable sittings, so you can experience the process yourself. Below is a collection of favorites from the series, followed by a booking interface if you'd like a Refract sitting of your own.
