She felt like a big cheater for all the time spent editing digital images to look like half frames. She went fully analog and never looked back. Triptychs out of diptychs.

Why half frame?

About seven years ago my friend gave me a customized Olympus Pen EE3. He was sure I would love it as he knew I am a profound storyteller. I immediately fell in love with the idea but it took me a while before I literally picked it up.

Why film?

I was manipulating and editing my images to look like half frames. Hashtags led me to halfframeclub and scrolling through all those great images I felt like a big cheater. So I decided to finally take the big step and go fully analog.

What are you trying to show?

On Instagram I compose short stories in series of 3 — triptychs out of diptychs.
