PHOTO ESSAY : TIME STANDS STILL

I’ve always been interested in how moments and things around us can be captured. Rather than capturing fleeting instances that occur in just 1/100 or 1/1000 seconds, my photographs depict moments that unfold over the course of one second. As a human’s perception moves forward, a nanosecond of time cannot be put on hold, for time and things keep progressing. 

The series of photographs were taken using my own mobile phone, and the results exceeded my expectations. It can easily take a long exposure shot almost anywhere and at any time. Long-exposure photographs used to be nearly impossible to shoot at times when there was too much light or in situations where a tripod would be too impractical. 

The photographs you take reflect who you are. I’ve always thought that lenses and cameras are merely tools and that the genuine beauty of photography rests in its ability to encapsulate the world around us, capturing the very core of humans’ views and feelings.
