You - Me

You minus me (stylized: You - Me) is a series of portraits obstructed by various geometric shapes and patterns

This series contains both digital and darkroom prints

Shot on 120mm and 35mm black & white film

THE PROCESS

When printing these photos in the darkroom, I would lay pieces of paper that I had cut into the various shapes you see above on top of the pre-exposed sheets of fiber paper. The paper that lie on top of the fiber paper would block the light created by the enlarger. After the exposure was made and the fiber paper was put through the development chemistry, on the portions exposed to the light would resolve the image, thus leave the geometric shapes behind.
