Welcome to a celebration of people, light and the stories it reveals.
Brighton Beach Study
Status: Completed • Timeline: 2024 – 2026 • Medium: Stop-Motion (40 Frames)
In my experimentation with imagery, I’ve always found myself fascinated by video format.
Specifically, the concept of frames per second (FPS). It's an incredible lens for understanding how we perceive time visually,
from standard video to slow-motion and time-lapses.
To really grip how these different versions of video work,
I started playing with stop-motion. It allowed me to practicalize the concept:
literally turning individual images into video, frame by frame.
Deconstructing the Frame
This project at Brighton Beach became a direct study of that concept. Built from just 40 photos shot .What I realized through this process is that stop-motion is incredibly layered.
Breaking a moment down into its raw components completely broadened my understanding of the medium,
far more than just shooting standard video ever could. It forced me to think about the space between the frames.
