This section defines the technical and procedural foundations through which the photographic work is produced. It addresses the use of analog and digital photographic processes, including film-based capture, scanning, and contemporary digital workflows, as well as the choices governing format, color, and presentation. These methods are treated as stable working decisions rather than stylistic effects.
The photographic method emphasizes direct engagement with the street as both subject and working environment. Images are made in response to lived conditions—light, movement, spatial tension, and chance—rather than preconfigured scenarios. The camera functions as an observational instrument, shaped by sustained practice rather than episodic production.
Across time, this method establishes continuity in how images are made, even as tools evolve. The archive reflects a consistent approach to seeing, framing, and sequencing, allowing work produced decades apart to remain in dialogue through shared procedural foundations.
