This body of work was developed during a trip to Savannah, where I photographed natural landscapes and moments of quiet observation using both a Hasselblad medium-format camera and digital photography. Working across analog and digital processes allowed me to slow down my approach to image-making while remaining responsive to fleeting changes in light, color, and atmosphere.

A central experience during the trip was a canoeing journey through the swamps of Georgia. Submerged within the landscape, I became attuned to subtle visual rhythms: dense tree canopies casting layered shadows, shifting reflections on the water’s surface, and moments where branches, light, and sky seemed to merge into a single plane. The environment encouraged stillness and sustained looking, and the resulting images reflect a sense of calm, immersion, and attentiveness.

Beyond the swamps, the project expanded to include scenes throughout the city, Spanish moss hanging from trees, church architecture embedded within the landscape, sunsets, and quiet moments shared with friends as we moved through Savannah together. These images balance observation and intimacy, capturing both the specificity of place and the fleeting, in-between moments of travel and companionship.

Taken together, the photographs from Savannah form a visual study of landscape, light, and presence. The work reflects an interest in how natural environments shape perception and memory, and how photography can hold moments of stillness within spaces defined by movement, time, and change.
