​I dislike how little control I have when it comes to film photography. My need for control manifests itself in the form of miniature photography. My subjects are mini plastic dinosaurs. When it comes to developing film, I’ve learned to have faith and relinquish this death grip I usually have on my work. ​ Miniature photography involves constructing an illusion of scale, where the miniatures are cleverly hidden within the composition. Since I am shooting with film, I am not constrained by color considerations, allowing my compositions to be more intricate and unconventional without appearing cluttered. The concepts I explore are always enjoyable and light-hearted. ​ Through experimentation, I discovered that my focus was not as sharp due to the absence of a wide-angle lens (35mm or shorter). Embracing this characteristic, I intentionally created softer images by utilizing a large aperture and low shutter speed. In most cases, I shoot in a dark room with the aid of a tripod, illuminating the subject with a desk lamp. On occasions, I capture images outdoors while on the move. I prefer shooting around midday to take advantage of the abundant natural light. Although some outdoor shots may be sharper, I deliberately introduce blurriness by employing a wide aperture. By employing a combination of lighting, exposure, and smoke, I craft pictures that possess a painterly quality.
